[quote=Anonymous]Gap years became popular in Britain starting in the late 1990s but quickly became pigeonholed as a rich kid's world tour where they mostly drank and had sex and experimented with drugs in their fifty country jaunt rather than anything meaningful. They've lost popularity in recent years. I'm sure for the right kid a gap year with the right balance of activities, work and travel can be a great exposure. But it can also just as easily be wasted. Looking back at myself while I would have loved a gap year at age 18 I still wouldn't have gotten as much out of it as I did in my post graduation "gap" year that I spent working in a pub in Edinburgh before going on to graduate school.
