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 .

Up to high

school

, students only study what is given in order to be prepared for university.

However

, before getting into college the young person will need to make a choice for a lifetime, as

this

is the moment to choose a major that will define one person’s profession, or

in other words

, what is going to be done for sustain from that time on.

Therefore

some people believe that it is important for these students to take time off from

school

to travel or work for a

year

and

this

essay proposes to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of taking

this

year

off.

This

transition between high

school

and university is a very important moment

because it involves a big decision about the lifetime profession.

Thus

travelling or working on something out of

school

might help to know some more about the world and how is everything out of the academic community.

This

experiencing period not would only help to do a more assertive choice for the future but would

also

prepare better the young for the job market. Another advantage is the awakening of interests that sometimes is only possible when something new is experienced in life. Despite all these benefits, one negative point about taking

this

year

off is that memory about every learnt subject in high

school

might be forgotten for the moment it will be needed, on the SAT exam. Even though

this

factor will not overweight the advantages, it is a detail that cannot be forgotten.

Overall

is possible

to conclude

that in spite of some little things that can be a negative point against taking a

year

off

school

to work or travel, the advantages overweight in benefits of the student’s life.
