After finishing school some student go travelling or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university. Do you think the advantages of gap years outweigh the disadvantages ?

It is absolutely true that some students take a small

gap

to travel or to work

instead

of joining university straight away.

Although

there are some minor drawbacks, the advantages of

this

said

gap

outweigh the disadvantages. In subsequent paragraphs, I will illustrate its advantages as well as disadvantages with relevant points. On the one side, some pupils like to travel or to start a job before initiating university education. Because of

this

gap

when they will join the college, they may struggle a lot due to most of the learning of high school time may be forgotten by dint of

gap

. Some students can overcome

this

problem through regular reading in parallel to a job or travel.

Furthermore

, these youngers may lag of in their curriculum compared to the peer group.

For example

, the students having a

gap

get a low score in their exams of the

first

year. On the other side , exposure to the professional world in

this

gap

makes individual more mature and their personality built up

accordingly

which can help these persons to tackle any kind of situation.

Also

, after graduation, some companies choose the graduates having some practical experience, at that time there is a win-win situation for these people and they get the vast benefit for the utilization of

this

gap

.

For instance

, researches proved that the graduates having professional experience get a high salary compared to the same peer group. In conclusion, I opine that there are significant merits of

gap

after high school education which create the well-bred members of society.

Hence

, its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages if the

gap

between high school and graduation institute has been utilized intelligently.
