is taking a year off after you graduate high school a good or bad idea?

[Hexuze]

It all depends on what you really want to do.

If you've got a solid idea of what you really want to do and are capable of doing it (financially and academically), go straight to a college/university and just work while you're a student, whether on campus or not. Just realize that you'll need to be able to schedule yourself and pace things.

If you're still unsure, take a job but enroll part-time with a few classes at a college. Engage career options, talk to others, experience things, etc etc.

What I'm saying is that you never really want to stop your education. Even if you're taking a single class while working full-time, you're making progress toward something.

Yeah that's the good thing about uni., you can work at your own pace that you're comfortable with. You don't have to finish in 4 years.

All those 3/4 years of studying to take bachelor degree will have been for nothing, if you decide to quit it.

I did it only because I'm joining the Air Force though. It gets really boring when all your friends are too busy to hang out!

USAF is for pussies. Although I've met some smart mother effing guys from AF.

I advise against taking a year off. You tend to lose momentum and get out of the motion of how class works. I'd say go to a local Community College (which are much cheaper) and take at least 1 or 2 classes so you're not falling too much behind.

No, you shouldn't. I wouldn't. I think it'd sap me of all my motivation and momentum ,_,

For me personally it's a bad idea.

After a year of not studying, it would be almost impossible for me to go back to it.
