[quote=Anonymous]DH took a gap year in 1979 and was an exchange student for a year. It was great for him, he was young for his grade and it gave him an extra year "on the vine". He feels he was much more successful in college as a result of that year. Plus, it gave him another language even if only 4 million people would understand it. He took another year off in college and spent a year in Germany- half of it working and half it as a student. Plus, a few more people know German. My father took a gap year in 1949 to put on right rear bumpers for Chrysler and worked nights as a janitor in a bowling alley to save up enough to go to college. That savings and an ROTC scholarship did it. He does not recommend it. He said it took him a semester to get his studying chops back in order. It really depends on the teen and the goals of the gap year. [/quote]
