with, taking a

break

from your

education

and doing work for almost one year will affect your ability to understand lectures and mainly memorising courses, because of disconnection from

education

for a long period.

education

is an essential part of our lives. Some people used to end

education

after their high school because sometimes the company pays a handsome salary to a particular undergraduate working.

For instance

, most undergraduates in Asian countries used to do a job after high school to gain some experience mainly in call centres and in restaurants but very few of them want to study in universities.

Furthermore

, often taking a

break

also

have some advantages. Students used to study continuously for 12 years and not have a huge

break

from their

studies

.

studies

to revive themselves by travelling.

break

from their

studies

because it has both, positive and negative impacts on their

education
