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.

It has come to notice that various nations advise their youngsters to get engaged or embark on a journey for twelve months between completion of secondary

school

and being admitted into the university. They're lots of merits to

this

as it helps them to learn vocations which can generate funds to support their academic pursuit and

also

enhance their maturity.

However

,

this

has its own demerits some students may choose to engage in various vices as they Will be idle and several of them may lose interest in furthering their studies.

This

essay will elucidate on

this

with relevant examples and a valid conclusion will be drawn.

To begin

, a number of countries have made it a norm for their high

school

leavers to get employed for a period of one year before entering the universities of their choice ce.

This

has its own advantage and

on the contrary

a disadvantages as well If they are given

this

opportunity it enables them to venture into vocations

such

as fashion designing, hairstylist and lots more it will generate income which can even assist the young people in fending for themselves when they resume the academic year by so doing reducing the financial burden on their parents.

However

some students may rather choose to be idle

instead

of learning a trade or going

vacation

Change preposition

on vacation

show examples

then

they became vulnerable to all sorts of social vices like getting involved in illicit drugs, occultism even theft. For, instance a boy whose parents and siblings have gone out for work and

school

who was left alone and idle

then

began to visit various sites on social media through which he was introduced to internet fraud alongside marijuana that he joined and by

this

singular decision, his future is ruined.

Additionally

, the period allocated for them to work or travel

also

enhances their maturity, as we all know that children mature on a daily basis especially, the cognitive development.

For instance

,a child in his or her teenage age finished Secondary

School

after spending a year might have become an adolescent which means the boy or girl has attained a new milestone in his or her life.

This

will make learning easier when returning to

school

.

Conversely

, the freedom enjoyed by

this

some of these adolescents during the period of leaving

school

can make them lose enthusiasm or total interest in furthering their studies.

For example

, the kind of chastisement that teachers gave them

while

in

school

compared to when at home without a teacher and their allowed to do what they like

therefore

going to be under another which is the university lecturers can be so discouraging to them. Conclusively, encouraging high

school

leavers to work or travel before gaining admission into the university accord them the opportunity to fend for themselves and get more mature

while

on the contrary

can get them involved in diverse social misdeeds and become discouraged to

further

their education. I suggest that

this

custom should continue because the advantages are enormous.
