NEW YORK, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- New research indicates that almost a quarter of students are rethinking college plans, including taking a gap year. A potential semester online plus restrictions in travel and high tuition costs are the main drivers of students' decisions. In a new interview with C.M.

He advises turning this year of discovery into "gap bursts," using jobs, internships, apprenticeships and online courses to help students get on a path to success.
