Many students choose to take a gap year before starting university, to travel or gain work experience. Do you think this is a good idea or a waste of time?

Nowadays, most of the

students

are more on practical and they thought ahead before getting stress and pressure when they enter university

life

. Some went to other places and explore, others find a job for experience in a certain year. I would agree with

this

notion, and it will give advantages of the person before jumping into a new chapter.

Firstly

, after finishing secondary education, many

students

want to breathe for a while and think before choosing which path they would take, through that many people went abroad and explore places.

For example

, in Europe, most of the

students

went to Asia to experienced culture and explore the wonderful nature.

This

could help them look for a new perspective and appreciate

life

before getting into a serious study. When they got home, there's a clear goal of what they need to do.

Secondly

, some

students

prefer to work for a while before starting university

life

. Having a job experience will help the student to be more motivated and pursue their dream and they can save money by receiving their own salary.

For instance

,

instead

of relaying their parent, they could get a job for a year and save some money for their education.

Therefore

, they are no longer dependent on their family of paying their expenses or buying their wants. In conclusion, there are good effects if a student will travel or work within a gap before entering a university. It could help them choose their own journey and change their perspective in

life

.
