Nowadays, getting accepted to a prestigeous university is very important and difficult because of too much competition. As a consequence, many people argue that students need to take a year off to take a rest before going to university. However, from my point of view, pupils don't need to take a year off and rather they should go to university right after graduting from high school. The rationale behind this statement is that it is helpful to prepare for the fufure career and allows students to learn many things.
To begin with, going to university directly after finishing high school gives students more time to be ready for jobs. With economic situation getting worse and worse, jobs are very difficult to come by. As a result, to get desired job, students should have required qualifications and be fully prepared for it in every aspects. It could even take several years depending on the person. Therefore, students need to focus on study and finding their interests while taking courses in university as early as possible to be competitive. For example, my sister took a year off before going to university and missed one year for job preparation. Even though it felt right at that time, later, she regretted so much in sinior year because she was not ready for jobs and had to study more years to get a vocation.
Moreover, sutudents learn more while enjoying university lives. The main purpose of taking a year off before going to college is to relax mind and to learn about other than school work. Nevertheless, the very same can be achieved by going to university. Different from students in high school, university students are more mature and have differnt point of view on world and many things. This allows students to learn from each other, and experience wide world. Also, university does not require homework or study as heavy as high school's and so students can fully have time to take a rest. To illustrate, I got accepted to a university this year. At first, I wanted to take some time off because I thought I needed to. However, after going to university, I realized that going to university itself is very educational and entertaining.
In cloing, I strongly believe that students should go to universty without taking some time off because it gives students more opportunities to make efforts for a job and teaches them many things. Although some feel that people do not need to go to university, it certainly makes life more prosperous as far as job and education are concerned.
