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.

Well, my '1' year off turned into 5. I waited tables for those 5 years and still do. I'm sure that other jobs out there have the same 'appeal' but working for 3 or 4 hours for anywhere between $100-$200 obviously delayed my returning to school. Finally this year I realized that my feet/legs were aching, I was slowly becoming one of those older waitresses that I used to be annoyed by and that the whole lifesytle associated with serving was getting very old
