I kind of disagree with this. Sure, if a kid has no clue, it's a waste of money for him to go to college and "find himself". But if he at least has an idea of what he wants to do, I think it's much better to jump in straight out of high school. You can always make course corrections as you go along. Taking a year off, it can be too easy to let inertia take over. Next thing you know, you're a middle aged guy working in a convenience store for 8 bucks an hour.
I guess it depends on the personality type. I know for me, taking a year off would have been a disaster.
