Some people think high school graduates should travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to study at university. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In

this

day and age, a lot of

people

opt for travelling or working for a short

time

instead

of going directly to

study

college after high

school

.

This

essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of both methods.

To begin

with, plenty of

people

believe that travel or

work

for a duration of

time

after finishing high

school

helps them improve life skills and broaden relationships. Spending

time

in real life will help a person learn lessons from reality

such

as discipline, self-discipline and how to face all difficulties without relying. If

students

choose to

work

, they will learn from the real working environment.

For example

, if a person makes mistakes at

work

, they will have their salary deducted or reprimanded, which will directly affect their economy.

This

will make them more careful, and

then

mistakes will not be repeated.

In addition

,

people

who choose to travel often meet a lot of new friends and

then

broaden their relationships. Having many friends will help learners become more confident, and improve their communication ability. Thereby, making it easier for them to seize opportunities in life.

However

,

This

choice

also

exposes

people

to two main harms: the

lack

of qualifications and the difficulty to catch up with friends who take the

time

to go to

school

as soon as they graduate from high

school

. Choosing to go to

work

and learn practical

knowledge

is good, but cannot completely replace professional

knowledge

taught from universities,

lack

of qualifications will make

students

lack

knowledge

leading to difficulty in development. In a

study

by a Dutch reporter in 2021, up to 60% of

people

who

work

are having problems because they do not have professional qualifications, leading to many difficulties.

On the other hand

, during that

time

those who choose to go to

school

right after they graduate from high

school

have completed almost a third of the program. That leads to wives who choose to travel or go to

work

. If they want to go back to

school

, they will not keep up with their peers.

Finally

,

people

who choose to go to

university

right after finishing high

school

will make the most of their

study

time

as well as

uninterrupted

study

time

. From there, they receive benefits

such

as opportunities to advance their

knowledge

and internships

while

they

study

in a

university

environment.

For instance

, in Vietnam,

people

choose to

study

at a national

university

after learning specialised

knowledge

at

school

. If

students

have good results, they will stay at the

school

as a lecturer.

Besides

, the

school

will

also

introduce and support job search for its

students

after completing their graduation.

However

, continuous learning for a long period of

time

will

also

lead to

students

lacking practical

knowledge

from society. Some

people

will be too dependent on

knowledge

from

school

and

lack

real-life experience, making it difficult to adapt to the real working environment. A special example is the fact that not all scholars graduate with the same major as they studied in college, and the rate of not getting a job after graduation is not a small number. In summary, after graduating from high

school

, the choice of spending

time

travelling or working for a period of

time

or taking

time

to start studying

university

is

also

up to each person's choice,

However

, each option will have its own advantages and disadvantages.
