On the other hand, there are some disadvantages that cannot be undenied. A student can grow to be reluctant and lose their enthusiasm if they take breaks after finishing high school. Some people lose their interest and desire to learn after having a long rest. For instance, the 20% of jobless people are the ones who lost their enthusiasm after finishing high school.
