I didn't go to law school but I did go to graduate school. I think everyone's situation is different, so just keep in mind that what may be the best choice for your friends could be different from what is the best choice for you.
For me, taking a year off to travel and work made sense because I was feeling really burnt out after college. I struggled with this a lot because I had always been a bit of a perfectionist and I felt like I was "wasting time" or something by not going to grad school immediately after college. But it definitely turned out to be the right choice for me. By the time I started graduate school, my head was clearer and I was more focused than I had been a year earlier, so I ended up enjoying it and getting a lot out of it.
Best of luck with whatever you choose!
