This, it may or may not help you decide what you want to do, but it could be a lot of fun if you plan it well. I took a year off and travelled around and still went back to uni.

Not knowing what you want to do is fine, I'm 26 and I still don't really know!

Took a year off to work on/pursue my musical endeavors.


Going to school for the stuff i am doing is silly, I can learn everything I need to know on my own. If i were to go to school, it would be out of my pocket and i don't have that to do.

On top of that, I am not trying to sit in student loan payments for years to come. Besides, I am doing what makes me happy and thats what is important, right?

I was making $2500 a month plus tips. You live on board for free and food is paid for so expenses are low.

Take a year off. It's the best thing I ever did and I would reccomend it to anyone.

i wouldnt take a year off. if you know you are career bound and you want to go to college start right after high school. universities have a million and one resources that help you decide on what you want to do. hell most people go in with what they want to do and change it so you cant do worse than that.
