It is becoming increasingly popular to have a year off between finishing school and going to university . What are the advantages and disadvantages of this ?

These days some people cling to the idea that we should have an interval between

school

and

university

. There are numerous advantages and disadvantages to having a

year

between finishing

school

and going to

university

which will be discussed in the following paragraphs. As far as I am concerned the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. After finishing

school

you are supposed to make a decision about your future so having a

gap

year

can be helpful. By way of example, you can think about your purpose in life and it helps you to find your interests and your talents. The trace of success can be found in making the right decisions. The other benefit of

this

issue is having time before going to

university

which contributes to increasing your knowledge and your information. People who have more information about their field are more successful than other people . When you have complete information about your field and your interests the reasons for failure will be destroyed.

On the other hand

, there are drawbacks. In my opinion, in no way is having a

gap

year

better than going to

university

nonstop . Because when there is a

gap

between

school

and

university

some of the contents and lessons may get forgotten.

For example

, I prefer to go to

university

after

school

without any

gap

. The other negative effect is laziness. I think when you get far from the educational environment you will be lazy and it serves as a barrier to success so I think you should go to

university

after

school

non-stop. To conclude, according to what has already been discussed in

this

essay there are many advantages and disadvantages to having a

year

between

school

and

university

while the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Having an educational

gap

before

university

is becoming popular and it is increasing.
