What Are The Advantages Of A Gap Year

Travel : Gap Years

For those who are considering taking a gap year, it is wise to think just what the pros and cons of that decision may be.

These are personal of course, but in general the following could be seen as clear advantages of taking a gap year before going on to university:

- It is a chance for a break and to do something different after education has been essentially all that you've known all your life

- Many people find that it helps with their self confidence, assertiveness and also helps develop personal skills, depending what they do with their time

- It can help you focus and work out just what you want to do at university if you apply during the gap year, where you will also know your grades with certainty

- You could engage in fundraising to get money to help with HE, or work part time or full time during the gap year period

- Some employers find it attractive when a person takes a gap year and does something productive with their time during that period

- Once you enter the world of work and responsibility it can be hard to have the chance to take time out of your career again until retirement
