It is becoming increasingly popular to have a year of between finishing school and going to university. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Nowadays, many students who finish school face a dilemma; to be precise, more and more students choose to have a gap

year

instead

of going

straightforward

Suggestion

straight forward

to higher education institutions. Even though

this

phenomenon has many virtues, the disadvantages should not be underestimated. On

one

hand, spending

one

year

prior to university studies offers unique benefits.

First

of all, I am confident that hands-on experience is a paramount benefit for students. In

fact

, not only will they acquire a vital experience

on

Suggestion

at

work, but they can

also

gain a spherical view about their selections.

In other words

, choosing a profession is not a laughing matter,

this

choose happens, for the most part, only once, and

therefore

, students will definitely have the change to get a rough idea about their preferences.

For example

, if someone wants to be an Architect, they can work for a view moths

in

Suggestion

on

a building site and get a glimpse of their future profession.

Additionally

, working for about a

year

, young adults will put aside some money for their studies. Admittedly, studies are costly and the idea of getting funds predominantly from parents lead to no self-reliance.

Finally

, not to mention the

fact

that they will have some significant

time

ahead so that they will take the proper decision.

On the other hand

, choosing a gap

year

has, of course, its drawbacks.

One

of the most essential negative, in my opinion, is the

fact

that students lose contact with

education

educational

. To put it in another way, studying is not a walk in the park and many people strive to get used to delve into topics

such

as Mathematics and Physics, to name but a few.

Therefore

, since higher studies courses

is

are

a sequence, to a higher level, of school ones, it will take considerable

time

until a student revise their knowledge. Another every bit as significant shortcoming of

this

selection is the lack of

time

, which in turn, leads to a lack of competitive edge.

In other words

, the process of finding a workplace in

an

ever-changing competitive market will be delayed for

one

year

. By doing

this

, the prospective worker might have less skills against other peer workers who exploit their

time

to an optimum extent and they will have a permanent job earlier.

Last

but not least, it is the

fact

of obligatory military service that should not be forgotten. The

fact

of the matter is that some countries

has

have

such

as my country, which is a serious obstacle to

this

procedure. To put the barrier into

time

, it means

one

more

year

and it might be assumed as a supplementary gap

year

by some people. All in all,

although

a

year

of

from a particular thing or place or position

off

between school and university offers crucial pros, has

also

its worrying cons. It is my firm belief that the final choice depends on

student's circumstances

the student's circumstances

, like incentives, goals, values,

time

and financial situation.
