Some students choose to work or travel after leaving school and before going to university. Many people, however, say that working experience is more useful in adult life than traveling. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The period between school and university is increasingly seen not merely as a pause in education, but as a formative stage in a young person’s transition into adulthood. Some students use this time to earn money or gain professional experience, while others choose to travel and encounter unfamiliar cultures. Although work experience is often more directly useful for adult responsibilities, I do not agree that it is necessarily more valuable than travel. Both can develop maturity, but they do so in different ways.
