1 Even though there are a few lucky people who even don't even
2 have to work, most of us need a job in order to maintain ✓
3 a living. In today's work world it is essential to have certain
4 qualifications for most jobs. As a result, more and only
5 more people go to the college or university and get a
6 degree in order to get them a well-paid job.
7 However, while not always do employers look at degrees
8 when they hire their employees on. Most of them
9 appreciate applicants who have already had other
10 experiences. That's why more and more 18-year olds and
11 decide to take over a gap year before they go on to study.
12 This may involve voluntary work in various organisations,
13 not going abroad as an au pair or assistant teacher, or
14 simply taking on some kind of job for a such short period of

19 must earn enough not only to make ends meet through
20 but for to pay back their debts as well.
