Although nowadays, I would encourage my kids to take 1-2 years off to work, figure out what truly interests them, and figure themselves out too. Sort of like the European gap year.

Went straight to UC, but my career took off before I graduated, and it took some time before I went back to finish.

But I kind of wish I'd done a gap year, and I'll definitely encourage my kids to take one - I'd love for them to do a year of public service of some type, either domestically or internationally. I feel like freshman year was a total waste because I still wasn't mature enough to be on my own.

Wish I had taken a gap year!
