So I'm curious.
We've been talking about this around here because our DD will graduate from high school a whopping 3+ years early.
While she is undoubtedly
ready for the academic demands of college...
we'd love it if she had the ability to spend a year doing something that is simply
meaningful in some way... because, well-- the acceleration has given her the "gift of time."
I think it's really obvious how FA management improves with additional maturity, too-- so every additional year is better advocacy skill, more assertive communication strategies, etc. etc.
BUT... about 60% of traditional "gap year" planning is about travel. To developing countries or really marginal locations in terms of management. NOT happening with someone like my DD, who has a super-low threshold.
What does that leave??
Our family has had some conversations about this, but I'll hold off until a few other people have weighed in first.
TIA!!
