Kits not clear what you want to accomplish. It seems like you want to simultaneously work another job and work on your own projects.
What’s stopping you from doing that in school? What do you think this alternative situation will offer that school doesn’t?
In general, I would expect someone in your situation to be interested in pursuing a specific topic or side project. In that way, you don’t “find opportunities “, you make the opportunities.
Further, I’m guessing you’re on summer break right now. What are you doing that’s preventing you from exploring this right now?
- doublemint2202 3y agoI'm working on this right now, actually. This is how I've gotten the idea to take the year off. It's less so that I'd like to "do something more useful" than college, and more that I'd like to continue to learn & work towards my goals in a different setting. In my mind, both the year off and the year at school can offer equal levels of growth to me, but I'd like to take this time to go out and do something for a bit. I'm moreso asking for advice on how to go about this, rather than if it is/isn't a good idea. Ultimately, I'm fine with the risk. I know myself, and I know I'll be returning to school.
