working straight out of college

<p>I'm sorry if I seemed a bit stand-offish, but the idea of taking time off to me seems ridiculous. I have had as hard a college experience as anyone and do not expect to take time off between college and a job. This is probably for multiple reasons, A. Money, and B. I know I have a job straight out of college which I will be ready for.</p>

<p>I would highly suggest doing some traveling between college and work if you are on your own dime, going around the world is a great experience, and having some time to relax is never a bad thing. However, the key words there are "on your own dime". It may be stereotyping, but it seems to me that to many kids in our generation, (I think 60 minutes called us millennials) are living at their parents house and relying on their parents to much, which is not good (in my opinion).</p>

<p>Oh, and on a side note... 1of42, shooting from the hip is a bad thing? You almost sound like a French person thinking that calling an American a cowboy is a bad thing. ;)</p>

<p>Wait, so where exactly did I "take the guy to task"? Go reread my post. I said two specific things:</p>

<p>(1) No one is going to feel bad for anybody that complains about working in a cubicle for 40 years, because that is your life choice.</p>

<p>(2) Most people in this world would find taking a year off strange and ridiculous, because they themselves are not privileged enough to have that choice.</p>

<p>That's pretty freaking hypocritical eh? You're either confusing me with someone else or putting words in my mouth. This is my last post on this thread, no point arguing on the internet. I'm sure you have better things to do as well. And also, not a big deal at all, just something to keep in mind for the future, but stalking isn't cool. Peace.</p>

<p>To the OP, I'm sorry about ruining your thread. You do whatever you think will make you a better individual and be able to help those around you the most.</p>
