[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would question what maturity or useful experience would be gained during the gap year and would worry that the year out of an academic setting would do more harm than good. Would they really benefit from a year of working a minimum wage job, or a year of failing to find a job and playing video games in the basement of your house? Or even a year of traveling - enriching, yes, but after traveling on someone else's dime would they be likely to go back to a rigorous academic environment or turn into a dirty hippie hobo? [/quote] +1 I have yet to see this work out favorably. [/quote]
