Do the young should work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting uni studies It is widely considered that a student graduated from high school should enter an university at once, however, in some countries, people encourage young people to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.There are both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, people who support this view assert that students need more life experience which can be offered by working and traveling. Also it is the right time to do those after getting away the heavily high school studies. In addition, by working or traveling, the young could think of their life deeply, thus they could make a suitable decision for their rest of life. What’s more, a ambitious person, in new century, needs the spirit of taking adventure and having courage to take challenges. On the other hand, going to travel right after finishing high school is supposed to be such a thing as escapism for adults and majority of students who graduated from high school don’t have too many useful skills of work, as a result, they only can do some labor jobs which means they hardly can learn knowledge form them. Otherwise, it takes tons of money that go traveling for a year and most of family can’t afford it. From the above comparison and contrast, we can see that there are both merit and demerit for this view. As far as I concerned, I tend to go to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies that it is better for broadening young people’s horizon and expanding a more bright future.
