Have your cogwheels ever turned to mull over whether young people should work or travel for a

year

between finishing high school and starting

or not? Not only will

essay, discuss

the uncountable pros, but it will

also

take the cons into consideration. Regarding

this

disputatious issue, there is a vast plethora of merits.

First

and foremost, working for a

year

may enable these students to value the money more and feel how it is hectic to earn.

That is

to say that when students earn money after exerting effort in, they will use it wisely and they will not waste it on superfluous products. Another, as equally vital aspect is, that travelling for a

year

will ignite their sense of independence.

For example

, if students cannot cook on their own, they will be coerced to learn cooking. Despite the obvious positives, one cannot turn a blind eye on the incontestable negatives. The

first

and the most salient drawback is that not all the students can bear travelling and living alone abroad. It should be mentioned, that

although

it has hordes of benefits as the

student

become more responsible, some students cannot live away from their families and relatives for long if they are closely connected to them.

Furthermore

, another downside is that the

student

will be obliged to delay a

year

of study in

university

.

This

may be seen for some parents a waste of time because it may be more beneficial to start

university

immediately after school to have an extra

year

to work and earn a living. To put things together, do the benefits outweigh the negative aspects or not? Without negotiation, it depends on the

student

and the parent's priorities either they prioritize the academic qualifications on the life lessons or the opposite. It

also

depends on whether the

student

is willing to pause his/her studies for a

year

or not.
