In some, countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university. Discuss advantages and disadvantages for young people who decided to do this

#countries #people #work #travel #year #school #university
In many countries, to develop a sense of independence,
children
 are being motivated to spend a year working or travelling before commencing their professional
studies
. While there are several positives and negative sides of
this
 approach which will be discussed below. On the one hand, the main advantage of working after completing high school is that it develops a sense of stability in youngsters.
Also
, they become financially independent when starting earning,
consequently
, they will learn to manage their finances and ability to pay their academic fees later on.
Furthermore
, if
children
 travel to other countries they will be able to learn new culture and get familiar with a multicultural environment, as
this
 will help them in a professional institution where they will meet people of different nationalities.
For example
, In Germany,
children
 learn different languages to mix up with their friends and feel comfortable during
studies
.
On the contrary
, there are several drawbacks and the main downside is that
children
 enjoy perks of financial independence,
as a result
, they change their minds and discontinue their plan of
further
studies
.
Additionally
, after completing their high school kids minds are more competent and ready to accept challenges thrown by higher
studies
; whereas a gap during their
studies
 can demotivate and they will find their interest in different leisure activities. As seen in the US, 80% of youth do part-time jobs after completing school and never return to universities to complete their higher education. To sum up, I agree that
children
 should get offered some activities other than
studies
;
however
, a long gap between
studies
 may divert their focus from their main goal. Parents should keep a strict check on their
children
 if allowing them to work or travel, as well as keep reminding them about the importance of professional
studies
.
