Post-university Gap Year

[olympicfan]

DD is keen to have a post-uni Gap Year. Has anyone else's DC done this? What sort of things did they do? Did they go on to a Masters or work afterwards? Can you do internships during a Gap Year? Is it harder to get a job after a Gap Year?

I have only ever heard of Gap Years before university, not after... but it sounds like a great idea as you are a long time working.

I might even have one myself!

Goodness I'd actively encourage a kid to go explore before getting bogged down in work if they had the opportunity. 21 is no age and travelling the world on your own or with a friend is definitely character building!
I'm sure there are some careers where they need to go straight into training (medicine etc), but the vast majority of jobs do not need this.
There's a vast difference between staying at home gaming and getting out there and challenging yourself with work and travel. I should hope employers can tell the difference.
