I don't think one way is any better than others - both have their ups and downs. It also matters what kind of experience it is (whether it's worth experiencing even with knowledge of the way it will/might turn out) and what works for you. I don't think it's a choice, either. I'm a learn-by-experience kind of person. It doesn't matter that 5 older siblings told me this and that about school and that it's okay to not finish on time because none of them finished college on time (some not at all). I don't think I really understood what they were trying to tell me all those years until I found myself in a similar situation... and I'm learning every day what it means to be "okay" and not finish school in 4 years AND not know exactly what I want to do yet.
