I was so concerned that my son's idea of taking a "gap year" would become a "forever gap". How would he ever get back to school? Wouldn't his year off be seen as slacking by his eventual employers.
It turns out my fears were groundless. In fact, a gap year wouldn't be a strike against his resume...it was actually a strength! A gap year - well spent - can offer the experience needed for landing an internship in college or getting the right first job after college. My son's gap year helped him stand-out during the application and interview process, landing his dream job 3 months before he graduated college.
A Gap Year is exactly what is needed in this new economy where experience is just as important as a degree. Maybe more. The Gap Year can be an asset on a resume, when planned right. Gap Year Solutions is the company to plan an individualized gap year that will be enjoyable and pay off in the long-run.
