- Travel – If you have the money to spend, travel solo or with some friends with your own plan or using planned tours, such as EF College Break (for anyone 18-28 years old). Backpack through a country or two. If you don’t have money, volunteer to work for necessities. WWOOF provides room and board all over the world in exchange to work on privately-owned organic farms all over the world. Join the Peace Corps. You can also teach in Asian countries, where some companies even offer free accommodations and round-trip airfare, all the while getting paid.
- Work – Get a full-time job in the field of your career. Or get a part-time job, internship, or work freelance while doing something else you want on the side. You can also start your own company if that’s something you’re interested in.
- Go to school – Grad school is sometimes an option, other times a necessity. Depending on your career goals, think about attending grad school if you’re not sure exactly where you want to work yet.
- Abandon it all – Move to a different city and join a community you love. Find a job you can live off of and spend the rest of your time simply living and taking in the world. *This is not as easy as it may seem.
- Whatever else you can think of.
