What did u do during the gap?

Anyway the later you do it, the higher ur pay, then the higher your opp. cost. No need to regret.

Work from home, dont need do sabbatical

Life is short , do whatever that make you feel happy. Money can always earn back one.

Bad advice. I heard that one too many times and believed it. End up my ability to earn money became impaired compared to peers who worked hard to cultivate their money-making abilities while I did what I was "passionate" in.

Okay if u want to be an idiot and live in austerity. But pls don't spread your stupidity.

To each their own.
I took a sabbatical at 30. 2 years in australia.

I was burn-out and opted for an MBA and i came back stronger.
I had a 40% payrise within 5yrs and about 230% payrise in 10 years.

The opportunity cost of my 2yr break is about 120k but the value of rest to my health and wellness is priceless.

if you need a break, take it.

120k includes your forgone salary, school fees and living expenses?

One thing's for sure. Those students who need a gap year are so soft they will never get anywhere in life except to spend their parents' money. They are destined for failure. Needing a break even before working?! What's that? Needing a break from a break?

What happens when they have to actually get a job and support a family?
