A Gap Year After High School?

A recent Globe & Mail article discusses the benefits of a gap year. In many cases, students are not ready to choose a program and end up in classes they don't enjoy, rack up debt and are at increased risk of dropping out.

Agreed that it is something parents and students should consider. Drop out rates for first year University students is considerable...maybe if they took that year (or more) and return when they are ready and have a little life experience we will see a change in these rates
