I have been enjoying my time off from academia and the professional world, but I am well aware that I need to get going toward something. But times spent catching up with old friends has been actually fruitful. I am reassured that the market really is that bad. I hear about the old times and how certain moments defined my studies. I am grounded and enlightened.

A vacation may be vital to one’s career goals because it helps you reset before heading back out to the world. When you take advantage of the time, you can study up or work toward professional memberships or licenses. Again, think long term.

So while my vacation just started, I do feel the need to keep going. Always progress friends!
