[quote=Mr Minio]Interesting. There's no such thing in Poland. I think most people would perceive a gap year as wasting time as most of the time people who want to go to the university want to go there as fast as possible and file documents as soon as they graduate, so that they enter the labor market as early as possible. But that's only my impression based on my peers. 

Some people [i]do[/i] make a mistake as to what they want to do in life, and change their major or profession. Sometimes multiple times. I'm not sure a gap year is going to mitigate this.

Oh, and thank you, Yoda's mum.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Mr Minio]Hey, what's the point in taking a gap year after college in America or elsewhere?[/quote]
Earn money for college. Figure out what to major in. Work a menial job so you'll appreciate college more. :)  Travel. Lots of reasons. Eighteen is pretty young to always know what you want to do with your life. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to jump into college just because it's what everyone else is doing right after high school. I say, figure out what you want to do with your life, and THEN ask yourself what the best way to get there is. Might not be college at all.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]So this is a slack year or do people actually work during that time to earn money for university?[/quote]

Travel around and see the world outside of a lab before returning to the lab and becoming bored again.[/quote]
