I hear yah.... I was thinking the same thing.... but my situation goes something like this....
I spent only four years in high school... I spent every summer since grade 8 in summer school taking extra courses so that I could graduate early from high school. Which I did.... i graduated from grade 12 just as i turned 16. so I got one summer off after grade 12 until i started university.
and since then i haven't taken a single semester off for the last 4 and half years...... been working p/t here and there and full time school.
Currently, I just turned 21 and have now graduated..... Im burnt out... exhausted and just plain out NEED a break.... although I rather not take one.
But I have my parents support on this one.... and they want to me to take a break and they said they would help me out in finances for the next bit if need be.... which I dont think I do... but just incase I do.... they are there for me.
But i do plan on making this break a productive one..... I have gained some major weight over stress from school and being lazy and what not.... I could really use the time to get my health back in shape.... which is pretty important too me... so I see this is an opportunity to get my health physically and mentally back on track.
I also plan on studying for my CHRP exam... I'm writing that so that im certified HR professional.... Also I want to study and write the LSAT for future purposes if I want to back to law school.
In addition, I have been thinking of moving down south to the US.... so i think i may take this time to do some re-con on schools and potential jobs down south.
And there are a bunch of household improvements and stuff that need to be done at my parents house... so i can do those for them.... and there are about a billion small things that I have been putting off because of school that I could get done over the break and not to mention job applications and interviews take up time as well.
So i think when I look at it that way.... I NEED THE BREAK, LOL!
And i dont mind if by the end of the break I dont have the job i WANT..... ill just take a temp job to pay the bills and keep applying..... Im not in that much money trouble that im desperate.
but thanks for the advice....
