[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like my son to take a gap year. That is, of course, if he wants to. [b]I'm not sure I can afford it, though.[/b] I didn't really know about a gap year while saving for college, so I feel a bit behind the 8 ball here. For a lot of kids who aren't 100% sure about what they want to study, a gap year might really underscore what's important to them and give them more focus. And yes, the additional year to mature is always helpful, IMO. [/quote] What would you plan to pay for? I took a gap year -- in order to finance it, I got a job. And worked various jobs during the year, also. I think much of the value of this is in your kid having the experience of having to be self sufficient.[/quote]
