Sure you can work forever but those are the same people who rely on social security checks to pay for there double wide.
I wish I had finished school faster then 5 years. I think man I would/could have had that position or that pay!

SSMUF.... engineering and business grads have a very different path to take when it come to jobs.... imo..... have had a few freinds grad from engineering.
I could be however wrong.
My friends.... two landed jobs like you.... and one landed a job 1 month after.
However I do not know any business grads here that have landed a job right away.... it took everyone more than a few months of kicking around.
Mind you..... your job market might be terrific.... ours here is pretty good too..... but experience is a priority before anything, especially for business grad related jobs.... and it takes a while before anyone really shows interest in grads that don't have that concrete experience.... which most dont.
So yah. there it is.
Its interesting though how I posted this up... and I find myself defending myself for taking a break off, lol.... perhaps its the wrong move... i dunno.... but I have my folks support on this one... so im gunna assume there right.....
like Jak said (and many other family and friends have too).... i have my whole life to work ahead.... I think taking 3 months off isn't going to change my life path.
