LESSON 23
Gap year - pros

I wouldn't take any notice of all this GYB nonsense. You want to go out there and see the world, don't you?

So, get out of your cocoon and bridge the gap between school and university.

Taking a gap year will broaden your mind. It will give you a taste of independent life. Believe me, it's an enriching experience.

You'll become more self-reliant, more mature and more aware of the world.

And you'll have an opportunity to enjoy life, before you become another COB and start paying into your pension fund.
