The difference gap year and Working holiday?

clownball asked:


Hello, I can’t see the difference of the gap year stay abroad and the working holiday overseas.
Which is which? For exam, if I were a high school student ( senior ) , which is popular for me?
I tried to search for any information visiting kinda Visa bureau, but I can’t find it.

Please anyone do me help.

    Both are lazy *** student excuses for not finishing education or getting a job.

    They are the same.

    See for the info about a working holiday visa in Australia.

    For many people they’re taken at the same time. If you take a year off between school and tertiary education, that’s a gap year. If you want to go overseas and need to work during that gap year, you go on a working holiday.

    If you want to go overseas at any other time while in your 20s and need to work, you go on a working holiday.

    Sorry, but if you’ve finished high school, you really should have been able to work that out.

    lol.

    Gap year = taking a year off between high school and uni. Some people travel, some people work etc.

    Working holiday = working while travelling to make money.

    If you are looking at doing a gap year abroad you might be better off coming over on a school exchange. Lots of people who have finished high school do this :)

    gap years are typically travelling around on a budget.

    Working holidays are better for your resume/CV. You generally pay for them but that includes all your accommodation, food and some travel. They work out a good value way of travelling.
