[QUOTE="CornishTone, post: 4887156, member: 4147"] I would say independent travel and work is all about gaining life experience. It forces you to become resilient, independent and communicative without mummy and daddy just down the road to run back to. Having traveled and worked before I started Uni, the ones who had been mollycoddled and never left the protective umbrella of the parentals were the ones who struggled to adjust to the freedom and responsibility of University the most. On the whole I would say the ones who had travelled and “got it out of their system” a bit, settled down quicker, got on with everyone better and had a more balanced attitude to work and play. That’s just my experience anyway. As some have said, uni or college isn’t for everyone and these days it seems to be fashionable for the media and politicians to say that everyone should get a degree or similar which is, of course, a load of bs! I would say however, the benefits of seeing the world and working in strange and unfamiliar environments, but within your chosen industry, are huge, should not be underestimated and should not to be passed up whilst the chance is there. Once you get settled into a life with an house, job and, dare I say it, kids it gets a lot harder to make that jump into the unknown. As I’ve said before, there’s a big old world out there to explore, get to it whilst you can! [/QUOTE]
