Band 7

After graduation many students take a year to travel. Some think that it would be more useful to work for a year. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is very common for privileged students from developing nations to take a
year
 to travel between the end of high school and beginning of
university
 in lieu of working part-time. In my opinion, it is much better to develop your capacity for
leisure
 activity rather than getting a job in
this
 interim period. The main reason many advocate employments during a gap
year
 is the cultivation of a strong
work
 ethic. When someone begins working, their bad habits necessarily subside.
For example
, a worker has to be on time,
work
 diligently, follow orders, get along with co-workers, show initiative, have a positive attitude, endure long days, and make ends meet with little pay.
This
 is the moulding process of adulthood, which entails reconciling your personal desires with the expectations of the community at large. The individual who opts to spend their gap
year
 working, will enter
university
 more well-rounded, disciplined, and humble.
However
, a strong
work
 ethic is bound to develop later, while the ability to enjoy one’s
leisure
 while travelling is a far more valuable skill. Most people acclimate to
work
 with a part-time job during high school or in
university
. At worst, they develop these qualities after graduation. Since they have been either working or studying their entire lives they have neglected the ability to enjoy
leisure
 that distinguishes higher classes. The average person who has been working their entire life goes on holiday or retires and feels restless. To enjoy your
leisure
 time travelling you must be able to set aside future worries, live in the moment, get outside your comfort zone, have a wide range of hobbies and skills, and be active for a full day without a workday. Chances to cultivate these habits will see far less light with a career and family so it is best to nourish them before
university
. In conclusion, the gap
year
 is a crucial space for individuals to develop a personal relationship to their
leisure
 time.
This
 is important as an ever-advancing career can become an undesirable transformational experience.
