[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my child doing this. He’d have a gap on his resume for no legitimate reason (sorry, traveling the world doesn’t quantify). As an employer, I’d have reservations about hiring a recent grad who wanted to delay working for a year so that he could travel. I’d assume he wasn’t serious about employment. Savings of $25 isn’t much when you consider down payments, retirement and rainy day funds. That said, maybe he can delay the start date a month and use that time to travel. That’s much more reasonable IMO. [/quote] How many college students do you know have 25K, of their own money, in the bank at the time of graduation? We're not not talking about trust fund students or students with rich parents here.[/quote] OP said her son has a full scholarship with a stipend. Add in internships & that amount of savings makes sense.[/quote]
