Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to the university. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

In most countries, teenagers often travel or do a part-time or full-time

job

for a certain period of time before entering the university. The advantages to

this

are that they get

work

experience

and proper saving for, paying their tuition fees and it

also

brings some disadvantages too. One of a positive side of taking a gap before continuing higher

education

is getting a valuable

work

experience

by doing part-time or full-time employment. It is true that in many countries a candidate with no

experience

always struggles to get a good

job

after finishing tertiary

education

, whereas, a candidate who has a small

experience

before entering university often does not struggle to get a

job

in

future

Suggestion

the future

. Another positive aspect is saving of some fund.

This

is because the higher

education

is so costly that most students do not continue their

education

, and with

such

savings not only do they continue their studies, but

also

do not have to depend on their parents or bank for a loan. There are many negative sides to

this but

Accept comma addition

this, but

one of them is losing interest to continue the studies.

For example

, in China, 65% of students who took a gap of 6 months or a year never came back for their

further

education

due to an interest in earning money. Another downside is that getting involved in bad activities. It has seen in many western countries that few students who travel or

work

for a certain period seem to get involved in bad influences

such

as, drugs, shoplifting or robbery. In conclusion, even though travelling or doing the

job

for some period gives an opportunity to have

work

experience

and a small saving, downsides to

this

is showing an interest for earning money rather than continuing study

further
