What do you think would change in your education if you took a year off before?

travel...or you could work in a restaurant and learn that you hate people....or you could just take my world for it....  people suck.....go travel\n\nOn the other hand, you need to get the dang degree.  I am so jealous of all my "young professional" friends.  I am young and a broke, starving student.  You need to get that degree, and fast.

Yup,\n\nI took my Associates in Comp Sci.  Then hit university for my B Comp Sci.\n\nUnfortunately I was also running the beginning of my business at the time.  So between my business that was doing well enough and university that was interrupting my business time.  I dropped out.\n\nI still ended up with a two year degree though and in university I took a few accounting courses which I still use to this day.  Even with 10+ folks working with me, I still needed some training.  Even now, I have about two months worth of skills updating that I do every year.  Everything from tax law to Human resources to Technical skills update.\n\nRunning a business is fun, but it still requires homework, research, people skills and lots of preparation.  All I can say after 18 years running a business I wish I had slowed down and enjoyed university more.  The business would have still been there when I got out with the four year degree.\n\nThat's not to say it was a mistake continuing to build my business.  Personally when I sell my business, I'm going back to school and taking something interesting like history this time.  You know, taking something for fun.\n\nThen again I'm now an old fart...;)

When you get out into the "real" world, and begin to develop a career, you will be starting from zero.  You will not have all of the subtle knowledge that involves your field of study until you actually get out there and practice it.  Rules change in the world over time, and your piece of paper, simply because you have one does not mean you will know more than someone who has no degree yet has worked in your field of study for many years.  A 4 year degree is not as prestigious as it used to be, if I were you I'd hang in there for a Masters.

First, I would increase the number of school days from the current average of ~180 to ~220 making school virtually year round, with 4 - two week breaks between terms. Second, I would reduce class size. No more than 15 students per teacher, K -6. No more than 20, 7th - 12th grade. I would teach more subjects on life skills, and allow more subject specialization in 9th - 12th grade (to train in specific trades).

Why would you want to go back to highschool if you've already graduated?  I mean you could get a teaching degree and teach there and be there everyday if you wish.  Or you could get a job in the custodian's department and spend your days going through lockers and reading private stuff (that would be kind of fun actually).  Otherwise, why go back, move on man!

Hi, you know we all different.  And it's really what makes us happy we should go with.  I can't actually wait to go back to school because I love it, I need to get more and more knowledge.  And I want to have my own business and for that I will go to Uni and study how the things work.  In your case you probably born leader and smart with a money and surroundings so good on you.  And you probably will run your company if you need without any study.  So consider yourself lucky and good luck with your future.

Finish uni, you might regret it in the future if you quit now. If you don't finish, you might be asked at a job interview what you did for those 2 years and it wouldn't look good if you said you just gave up your degree. A year goes by faster than you think.

"Replace" is a strong word.  I can see them becoming more readily accepted, and probably will become the dominant mechanism for some types of education, but I really think they will ultimately have more impact on K-12 than on universities, and they will never have any real impact on graduate school (beyond some isolated degree programs like the MBA).  The university may be able to farm out a lot of the required coursework...the same types that we used to try to CLEP out of years ago, but I can't see the majority of coursework becoming online only.  Still, the volume of classes that CAN become online will have a great effect on the way we do higher education.

1. It takes a year longer to finish school and start your career.\n2. If you're going back to school after, your skills might be rusty.\n\n_____________\nmmikulenka: I think you're confusing gap year and leap year.  A person born during a leap year can be born on Feb. 29th, and only have an actual birthday every four years (I actually know someone who was born on Feb. 29th).  A gap year is a year of either between high school and university or after university before starting a career.  All the days are still there.

I should be graduating from med school.  Aside from that it's hard to say what I would be doing as I know I will be a completely different person than who I am today.  I'm sure I'll be thinking about my career and getting my own practice going.  I'll probably have a headache from being so smart, or something.

be sure to tell them what you've been doing the last couple of years, why you've come back to school, and what you want to do with this degree. they want students who are passionate about learning and will complete their degree.

depends on the state.  you may have to re-take the exam.

no...course i didn't go to college, couldn't afford it.  but "basic education" no longer allows you to provide for yourself and your family.  and now, a degree no longer offers you the financial security it used to, unless you have an Masters.....i just wish i could pay my rented house, utilities, used 17 yr old car and still eat.

If you are a continuous student, I believe that any changes do not affect current students in the year of the program that the changes affect (i.e. you are a freshman any changes to the freshman requirements shouldn't affect you but any changes to the sophmore requirements may). However, any changes made while you were on hiatus or sabatical for example typically do.
