Over recent years, the trend of having a gap year before enrolling in universities has become popular within youngsters. This trend has plethora of benefits and drawbacks. This essay discusses both deeply.

Firstly, working in distinct fields for a time period results in gain in knowledge and an opportunity to find area of ones interest for choosing a course for further studies. Secondly, travelling has some advantages also such as a person can explore many areas of his/her nation and develop a good friend circle of different backgrounds, fields and locations which is of course beneficial for a youngster in his/her work life.

However, as every coin has two sides, it has some disadvantages also. Firstly, a gap year has a profound impact on a student's study. A candidate might find it difficult to continue study after a long time. Moreover, a student could change his goal completely, if he starts earning at early age which could distract him to continue at study and remain working at job.
