[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS will graduate from college next month with a very good job offer, 103K salary, waiting for him; however, DS feels like he is burning out after five years in the rat race, started in sophomore year in HS and about to end next month, he graduates in three years.  He just wants to take a year off to pursue things that he has missed for the past five years.  He has 25K in savings from two past summer internships that he will use to travel the world.  Is this a good or bad idea especially with the uncertainty in the economy at this time?[/quote]

Sorry, I have to call troll. Senior year of college after a cushy summer internship and a six-figure job offer secured in August is the furthest thing from a rat race. And last summer would have been fun in New York City or Boston or whatever fun city with tons of friends and peers making good money. OP's alleged DS has been coasting since at least August 2022. And quite literally would have just returned from spring break!

...but he has wanderlust? Yeah, right. Wanderlust is for idle workshy women and layabout bartenders. Striver grinds with six-figure finance or MBB job offers would be painfully bored to go be idle for a year while all their peers bank $100k, make connections, earn promotions, and move forward with life.

No chance this is a real thread.[/quote]

Kids going into tech aren’t super ambitious striver grinds like consulting or finance types.[/quote]
