Gap Year Unrelated to Uni Degree?

Hey all,
I was am wanting to study Accounting and Finance at Uni, however I don't want to go straight back to studying and so want to take a gap year's paid work abroad in Australia.
I'm wanting to apply for deferred entry to Uni but have become worried they will reject me if they see my gap year totally unrelated to Accounting and Finance.

Thanks alot for your time.

Most people's gap year will be unrelated to their degree. Only really language students or students who'll visit historical places (ie. for Religious studies or history) could have a related gap year. =D

Absolutely not. Say that you want to take a year out to mature. That's clever. That's what I'm doing. Also, you want to travel and you're going to accomplish that - explain how you've saved for it or something (they might like this being accounty people haha). You're tackling a year abroad - I think you can tackle uni. Also shows you have dreams that you're willing to work towards, surely!?
