My gap year(s) were very useful in that I end up working crappy jobs and was previously indifferent to the idea of college success. (I think I had a 2.9 GPA when I dropped out after my freshman year. Might have been a little higher, but I really didn't care. I'll put it this way: if I made it to class half the time in any given week, I considered that a successful week.)
Fast forward a couple of years of shitty jobs, low-paying jobs, and I was much more motivated to succeed as a student. Sometimes the real world is the kick in the pants a good student needs to remind them why they were a good student in the first place.
