People have different views as to whether upon graduating the school, students have several options, such as working or traveling prior to studying at the university. While traveling can broaden their horizons and gain more new experiences, I personally believe that working tends to be beneficial for preparing them for adult life.
Proponents of the idea that traveling seems to be useful for some reasons put forward several arguments to justify their stance. The more people travel around the world, the more they are able to get more experiences and broader horizon, thus leading to a personal growth in life. Consequently, this enhances their adaptability and social skills and enable them to have further advantages including professional and communication skills in their future career. Take my country as an example where many students try to explore new places and go abroad to gain more information about other cultures to broaden their social horizons.
Despite these arguments, I support the view that working brings more benefits than drawbacks. Many students can work to provide themselves financially as soon as finishing the school, leading them to boost their endurance and responsibility to real life. As a result, it increases soft skills like time management, teamwork. Moreover, they can foster better collaboration and problem-solving abilities. This is the case with Uzbekistan where school graduators seek employment opportunities to work support with money themselves before going to the university owing to high tuition and rental fees.
In conclusion, although young people should explore and travel abroad in order to understand other cultures as well as they can improve language skills, I undoubtedly contend that working equips them with initial experiences of adult life and teaches about its pros and cons. Only through supporting them to do both traveling and working, can governments reduce tuition fees and provide them financially.
