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

Working and travel

experience

is one of the practical and communicational times for

students

,

however

, it is difficult for them to decide when they commit to these

experiences

because these surely consume a certain amount of time. Some argue that

students

had better try it in the period before entering university.

This

argument is partly true and working on useful for their

studies

,

however

,

this

accomplishes the negative sides.

Firstly

, it has positive aspects for

students

in that they can even more focus on their academic

studies

with the

experience

because they can easily find out their goals or aim of their

studies

such

as getting jobs or living in the country where they want. These

experiences

can help

students

make sure what they want in their life,

moreover

, giving them a new way of thinking because the

education

from a school does not cover or teach everything that we need and the textbook does not mention the pragmatic way.

For example

, touching and communicating with people who have different ethics and background is a great part of the trip and

this

is hard to have in the usual school life which is consisted of neighbours.

Therefore

, the extra opportunity outside a school

education

gives

students

further

growth and a wider understanding of the world.

However

, these

experiences

cost more

experience

or poorer than they expect on some occasions.

Initially

, for work

experience

, it is not easy to find a full-paid workplace for people who are lacking their knowledge and a lot of internships are unpaid or not enough to afford their life. In

this

aspect,

students

prefer to have after finishing their

education

in order to get a better salary and conditions.

In addition

to workings, it can be said that travel can not prove their

experience

, which means

students

need to commit to something else

while

travelling if they want travels to work toward their getting a job or

studies

. And

also

, it costs more than their usual living. It is good for their vacation or taking rest,

however

, it has a risk to spend a year for travelling. To make sure the purpose of these

experiences

they will waste their time and money.

To sum up

, the gap year before upper

education

has both pros and cons in

students

' lives and their future careers. It is necessary to put some time into considering whether to accept these issues or not before making their decisions.
