Easier to stay the course.
As Seesul already pointed out, tuition increases each year.
But if you need that extra year to work and save money, you already have your answer?
You may develop a deeper appreciation for school.
But that may come from all the difficulty you must overcome to get back in.
Not the best trade-off. It can get a little stressful.
Also, it’s a little socially-disorienting to be behind your classmates.
(By classmates, I mean the people who entered the same time as you.)
Even if you’re on track (for your own track), you just feel behind.
I took time off from school and it took me a VERY long time to finish.
Of course, there were other factors. But there always are, right?
Best to stay the course (if you can).
