I am really considering College, 1 year off, then Institute

But what would you think of 1 year off, College, 1 year off, Institute. It'd help me gain money both times I'd be off to school BUT I'd be just leaving school at 23/24....does that seem normal to anybody? I don't have many people's experiences to draw from right now...my sister dropped out in Grade 10, my mom went to University for 1 month, and my dad did some Quebec route of college which is apparently a different situation than this.


thanks again everybody
