In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

Nowadays, the debate whether young people should have a gap year after finishing high school to work or travel has caused a ruckus among myriads of parents. As almost everything in our world has its merits yet is overshadowed by its drastic consequences. In my opinion, I acquiesce that its pros outweigh its cons. With emphasis to my opinion, there is a vast plethora of merits regarding

this

highly disputatious issue.

First

For example

, students may not feel how it is hectic to earn money until they personally experience it.

Although

others may have different standpoint, I personally believe that these are lagniappes that hordes of people, whether 7, 17 or 70 are reluctant to lose. Despite the obvious positives, one cannot turn a blind eye on the incontestable negatives.

Firstly

the most salient downside is that it may seem as a waste of time and superfluous to delay the university. Even though it may have a tiny impact on the academic level as students have to skip one year, I adamantly claim that

on the other hand

, students will benefit from

this

experience by gaining life lessons as being responsible and managing their time effectively.

For example

, maybe learning new life lessons may be more beneficial than scientific lessons. In conclusion, I have a resolute unwavering advocate that encouraging young people to develop themselves by going the extra mile is the bedrock of SUCCESS! Contrary, I suggest that parents should motivate them to do so and keep asking about them regularly.

Furthermore
