Timoteo, I say go for it! I returned to OSU after a very long absence and finished my degree 30 years after my high school graduation. I dropped out of OSU for various family reasons, not because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. However, I returned to school and finished with an entirely different major than what I envisioned myself doing in 1974. Working and life experiences do have a way of changing you, and I do think they make you appreciate the education you receive in college more. I too believe that a gap year or two would benefit a large number of students coming out of high school. Good Luck!
