Why take a worked gap year?

Results of a survey by Milkround show that 88% of graduates reported that their gap year made them more employable.

Most universities and higher education institutions approve of gap years and think that a year out before applicants start university is beneficial for an individual to gain a sense of self sufficiency before they begin their degree.
