gap year

i just read this article on nytimes.com about the "phenomonon" of more and more students taking a year in between highschool and college or a year off. it was written about in this really annoying way which is why i don't really recommend anyone reads it. the interesting thing is that there were interviews from all these new organizations that organized gap year or years off for students. like parents could pay them and they would set up the whole year off, or have programs for students to enroll in. i just thought it was really interesting that this is an actual job, where wealthy parents will pay a lot of money for you to organize this time for their children. so maybe we could start something like this.
