Before University Studies

There is a famous quote which stated that experience is the best teacher. Travelling and working is one of the ways to gain experience. In several countries, young people choose to spend their time with travel and work before they start their higher education. Of course, there are always advantages and drawbacks from this certain phenomenon.

It is obvious that one will get many experiences from travelling activity. For instance, it will broaden their knowledge by meeting with new people and involved with brand-new cultures. Then they will learn that life is much more complex than his original world. These involvements might change their perspective of life and that can be remarkably advantageous for their university life later on.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages from this work and travel activity. First of all, these young people might get bad influence from the place that visited. It is possible that they will absorb all of this new culture without any screening process. Another drawbacks if teenagers decide to work before their university studies is that they might make up their mind not to continue further study. Because of money reason, they can earn money without a university degree. They will probably lose motivations to study.

Overall, it still over debating whether working and traveling is best to young people to do before university studies. However, beside of some negative effect that might be encounter, it is fully of one’s choice whether to do that or not. Because there are always a bright side of a decision.
