Would you opt to work, study, or take a gap year?

Are you (almost) done with school? Then you can choose to work, continue your studies or take a gap year. Don't know yet which choice you want to make? Read on and get inspired by our tips!

Still no idea what choice you want to make? Then come and chat with our coaches!

The benefits of working

Are you considering employment? Then these are your benefits:

You fix your own money
You meet new people #networking
You gain experience
You work on your future

The benefits of studying

Are you considering studying (further)? Then these are your advantages:

No need to enter the uncertain job market just yet
You will specialize yourself in a profession
You are up to date with the latest knowledge
You can be a student for a while longer without (real) obligations and responsibilities.

A gap year?

You probably also know someone who took a gap year and went backpacking in Asia, haha yeah right? Why really? Many young people are looking for adventure. They want to gain life experience or get to know themselves. If something like that appeals to you, you could definitely consider it. It might help to think in advance about why you want to take a gap year. Maybe you are in need of rest or maybe you are looking for adventure!

What does a gap year cost?

Of course, that depends on your trip. Look, a trip to Antwerp is obviously cheaper than Australia. To get you started, you can use a savings plan. Click and download it via the button below:
