Some countries youngers are delicate to work and some of them are choose to travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. In my opinion student who are choose to work between their period it would be improving their financial support. And it will be help their future educational support.
On one hand after the finishing their exam most of the student are select the travel because, during the study period they get stress, depression, anxiety that why they want to go travel around the town, city or country. And they get enjoy. they get money from dependent parents support these cause to effect the studies and wastage of money. In future their parents get struggle to give support to following university studies there for their parents won’t to be sell their moving properties, asset, and want to get loan from bank and they want to be sacrifice their life for whole life time to settle the bank loan for their kids I think these are the disadvantages who are select the travel.
On the other hand some diligent student who are know to predict the future they are select the work here are some of them I find out as a advantages. automatically some soft skills likewise communication, time management, leadership, teamwork, creativity improved by working student and they earn money as a result they get independent to become what they want.
According to my analysis if have chance to be like I prefer to choose the working more than traveling.
