Kevin O'Leary: Don't Take A Gap Year After College

[@spants1058]

If you are burned out from school or just need a break, then a gap year is great. Work and save up money, or if you are fortunate to travel, do that before you are locked down with a job and have less freedom to travel. Or volunteer.

This is the stupidest advice I’ve ever seen. I took a 2 year gap year and moved to the United States as an au pair. Not only did I meet my second family, I also realized what I career I want to head into. Taking 2 gap years was by far the best decision I’ve ever made.

[@kendalljohnson9172]

being an au pair is work and going to the US gives you connections, with it being one of the wealthiest countries in the world

[@Mkaybb]

I’m really hoping that no one is taking this piece of advice seriously. Gap year abroad, although taking it as a sabbatical from college, was one the best decisions of my life. To me, it means you’re willing to take on risk, adventure, accept personal growth, and build a unique skill set of how to work with others. Mr Wonderful has solid finance advice, but this is definitely not one of them.

[@beamarie8041]

I wish I took a gap year. I would’ve worked and helped my parents out to save and pay for college. It also would’ve helped me not bounce around with a major so much, as well as develop myself. I felt like I entered uni too young, inexperienced, and easily influenced/persuaded. My life isn’t about getting a job to make Kevin O’Leary and the likes of him money. Not gonna listen to boomers about the job market anymore because the arrogance is exhausting.

I took a gap year after college teaching English in France and had no regrets. I mastered the French language, made great friends, and got a unique opportunity to live in a small French town. When you "GET A JOB" you're missing a chance. Right out of school you likely have few obligations. So hoping to be able to take a full YEAR during your youth becomes more-and-more difficult once you commit yourself to a lifestyle that society wants: stable job, spouse, kids, mortgage payments, etc, etc, etc.

[@klonde3645]

I am thinking of doing this! How did you go back getting this job please ?

Teaching English abroad allows you the opportunity to go to another country, but still meets this guy's expectations that you "get a job." I am also interested in how you secured your teaching position in France.

from what i understood from that video was he confused flexible hours and remote work as "vacation"

[@alicia_grace]

he doesn’t mean that by vacation. he means that he wants his employees to just get work done, whenever as long as it’s done on time. so if you happen to be on vacation, he expects you to get your work done on your own schedule before or during the vacation.

[@asadb1990]

here's my advice: gap year saved my life, literally. school was extremely overwhelming and i had some really dark thoughts, i couldn't get into the college i wanted. i overworked myself to the point getting up from the bed would be the biggest task ever. i lied there staring at the ceiling. i decided to pause, take a break. my parents were super supportive, encouraged me because they saw me drained mentally and physically. i didn't exactly have one full year because i had to start preparing for the next year's exam from jan. so i had august-december of 2022 to myself. the best months of my life. i caught up to my friends, family, starting working out, eating healthy, my mindset became so much more relaxed, i started sleeping well again. unfortunately it passed by too quick but im extremely grateful to have those months. i feel like a completely new person. 100% recommend it to anyone who's confused or overwhelmed.

Don’t listen to this guy listen to yourself. If you need a gap then take it. If you don’t then don’t, everyone is different. If you have the the courage, drive, determination and a bit of luck you’ll get to where you need to be.

[@derekward3512]

@LWRC Most people who take gap years are usually those who just graduated from high school. Gap years are also different for different people. Some take gap years to go to school in other countries or get more learning experiences in places other then college. A gap year can be more than just "taking time off". It can also be good for planning for the long run. But gap years are dangerous if you're not careful with them. Sitting on your couch all day playing video games is not a good way to spend your time

[@derekward3512]

@LWRC are you dumb lol lots of studies talk about the benefits of taking a gap year in between college and high school, thinking you're shooting yourself in the foot is just an old boomer wives tale. And not not all gap years are taken the same, lots are taken going oversees for a year in other countries going to school there.

[@derekward3512]

@LWRC You literally dont have any idea who I am or what my ambitions are. Most of what I am doing during my gap year is education based to prepare me for college and my future career. I'm preparing to live oversees temporarily to get teaching experience as an English teacher. Maybe you shouldn't assume why people are doing what they're doing is because they're lazy. Not everybody needs to follow the status quo and go to college right away, it's ok to be different and it doesn't mean you will be denied by all job opportunities

[@derekward3512]

@LWRC Again this isn't the 1980s dude, there's tons of opportunities and no offense but you don't sound like an expert in all fields, not every single thing needs to be done right after high school. You aren't going to be automatically rejected for taking a gap year. Tons of gap year opportunities include volunteering experience which looks great on college applications. Going to a new culture for example and learning a new language is something colleges love to see on applications. You don't seem to realize that there are tons of opportunities for education that occurs during a gap year that doesn't just include sitting at home

Actually, don't. Unless you already expect to get $0 from financial aid when you go to college, most of the money you will earn while working that gap year will go to uni. costs. Why?? Because you have to report that earned income, both the gov and your uni. will have access to that information, and it will disqualify you from need-based aid.

That's fine. Just make sure everyone is fine.

@kevin o’leary what abt a gap year during college due to coronavirus? Stanford has said classes will be online next year and I think it will b a better investment of my money to wait a year until they are in person and i can live on campus again

[@GaryThanosHudson]

I took a gap year which lasted for 20 years, and have no regrets. I love being an investor and would never trade that for a 9 to 5 job. Investing was difficult and had to sacrifice a lot to get where I'm at, but in the end, it was worth it.

[@rohanm4214]

Is it really gap if you have worked on your investment portfolio instead of doing a conventional office job?

[@amylieu6084]

yeahh 20 year gap year!

Unless you're completely lost at life a gap year sounds like a complete waste of time. A lot can or cannot happen in that year.

[@ImFaiis]

A gap year usually takes the momentum you already have in college taking a year off makes it so hard to get back into studying and working, some people can normally come back but most cant

[@kyleung2187]

there is opportunity cost taking a gap yr as well.

[@araline2905]

My biggest regret in life was not taking a gap year before going to uni. I wish I had chosen not to take my mom's advice and actually done it. I think people should encourage it more often.

[@deydeygames3148]

Why

[@hunterkill97]

Agree. Gap year is a waste of time.

Although the whole student debt thing makes sense, this advice is complete boomer advice. I would never work for Kevin.

[@Tribunal1023]

He’s the absolute worst and he is the exact reason why people leave their jobs because of a mental breakdown. His kind uses people and spits them out. I swear he lives in his own world.
