Time Out Taking Time Out Many people consider taking 'time out'.
As their comments show, it is rare for anyone to regret their time out, but it is wise to think carefully first. Take the decision deliberately and think of it as 'development time' rather than time 'off'. My career wasn't planned as such. It was not until over 18 months after graduation that I had an idea as to what I really wanted to do. Sometimes people need 'empty space' to find a path for themselves.
