‘Stop fooling around. You’re wasting your life. When are you going to grow up?’  Ever hear those phrases?  I did.  I decided that I didn’t want to have a life that I had to take a vacation from. So far, so good.

Go find yourself. Take off.  Travel. Experience life. There is plenty of time to get a regular job. Self knowledge gives you direction and improves your self esteem – two keys to a better career.

Get some culture and round out your experiences. You create from the inside out, and it is difficult to create meaningful work when you have no life experiences.

Learn how to do things you’ve always dreamed of doing. Travelling to other countries allows you opportunities to try out careers.

When you return, be able to describe to your clients how you benefited from the time.

Explore your personal interests and see if any of them lead to your next career, or at least an exciting life. Test drive various career options, have some fun, and don’t have any regrets when you settle down into a career.
