[quote=Anonymous]My engineer husband took a year off and was a “ski bum” in Jackson Hole for a year right after college but his parents didn’t fund that. He worked fast food before the ski season started (served Harrison Ford in the drive through) then found jobs lifeguarding and waiting tables in a nicer restaurant that allowed him to pay rent and ski as much as he wanted. Then he came home and worked doing tech support until he found an engineering job. So he still worked and supported himself. If he wants to travel but doesn’t have a real plan he could take a job and negotiate a later start date and travel for a month or sleeting. In your position I’d pay for a post-college trip like that. But I wouldn’t fund a year away where he’s not working and his resume is getting stale. Plus it’s probably better to work before grad school, even if only for a year or two. [/quote]
