I totally agree. It's not like you have to start college knowing exactly what you want to do. Take different classes, explore different things, figure out what you like and don't like before declaring your major. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I started college, but if I had taken time off away from school under the premise of figuring things out, I may never have gone back. I have friends who took a year off from school and never ended up going back, or are struggling to get their degrees years later. I know that it has worked for some people, but I definitely don't think I would have been one of those people that succeeded if I had followed that particular path. Different strokes, though.

I definitely agree w/ # 3.
