Some of us are sitting this one out. I'm sure you're reading about the law firm that offered associates $80,000 to take the year off. Nobody's offering you that money. But think about it: rent the house or sublet the apartment, allot a portion of your savings (if you have any) to expenses, buy a plane ticket or a car—and give yourself the year off. Just decide not to worry about it until next spring. By then you may be a different person.
And there's always the Goose.
