I completely agree with those who've suggested a year off (either after high school or during university).

I took a year off right after high school, worked a menial job, and by Christmas I was itching to go back to school.

But for some people, university isn't the thing to do. I've known what I wanted to pursue for a career since I was 14 but still went to university to "grow up a bit." But by third or fourth year I wanted to get the process over with to go ahead and move on with something at the time I felt was more pertinent to what I wanted to do with my life. Looking back I still think it was the right move though.
