I am doing a debate on why High School Graduates should not get a job for a year instead of going to college?

All I have so far is that it is harder to go back, help?

you have more earning potential with a college degree than without one, so the more years of your life you spend without the degree the less earnings you will have over time.

The job you get for the year will most likely not be in a field you will want to be in after college, so it is not doing anythng to help your resume or list of experience

College tuition goes up every year, the longer you wait the more expensive it will be to go. Also many scholarships/grants you get in your last year of high school will only apply if you go to school full -time the semester immediately following HS graduation

Hope this helps…

  2. And what are the reasons it is harder to go back, be specific. Because a family could be started which would interfere, a job could be started and dependency on it would prevent going back, the longer out of school the more rusty you’d get with academics and it would seem too hard to go again. If a student doesn’t go on after H.S. the continuity is lost and after time so much is "forgotten."
