Is it a good idea to take a year off between finishing school

and starting a university course or a job?

In recent times, the gap year between high school and university has become
increasingly frequent. Many people decide to take a gap year because they believe it
is the last adventure before entering the professional world. Others believe that this
choice could ruin their career.

One of the most important benefits of the gap year is that it allows you to acquire life
skills that will prove valuable in the future, such as making quick decisions and
finding solutions to problems that may seem unsolvable.
Another great advantage of the gap year is that it allows you to discover the world.
Discover new places, people and cultures helps to grow and mature.

There are also some disadvantages. In fact, dedicating yourself for a whole year to
your passions and the search for your talent can be extremely expensive. 
Another factor to consider is that after traveling the world there may be a risk of
losing motivation in continuing studies.

In my opinion, it is a good idea to take a gap year because it is important to think and
clear your mind about what you want to do in the future. The most important thing is
not to stand still and not to stop looking for as many possibilities.
