This interesting point of view is one with which I concur completely, there is much more value to a Gap Year than simply the enjoyment of travel itself.
In an ever more competitive job market attitudes towards gap years have changed dramatically. Whereas 15 years ago employers looked upon them as signifying a lack of dedication to a ‘career’; gap years are now considered an attribute by many employers, one that helps you stand out from the crowd.
The world of business is now truly globalised. Working in this world you have to have an understanding of other cultures, different work ethos and different attitudes to challenge your own values. In international business an understanding of these differences sets you out from the crowd and gives you a much better chance of being successful.
There has never been a more important time to gain a competitive advantage in the job market, to be able to achieve this while fulfilling lifelong dreams seems to be the ultimate ‘win-win’.
