decisions, decisions
I took a year off before I went to college, and I had no problem at all getting back into the school mentality. If anything, working full time at a stupid job helped me realize that education is important, and made me more motivated once I went back to school. Don't hesitate to work for a year... it also really helps financially. Even if you pick the cheaper school, it helps to know you're not hurting for money.
