I have a 17 year old relative who has just completed the leaving cert, who just doesn't know what career path to take at the moment,but is planing to go to college in the future,talking about taking a gap year out to help him identify what he might like to study,another idea is to take a one year course during this time, he has a strong interest in music but is not sure on the career prospects in this area,Has taking a gap year helped you or anyone you know or is it a year wasted,What is the potential for a good career in music or media production,as he is only 17 i think time is on his side,any suggestions would help.
