Work-Life-Adventure: Why Young Professionals Need a Break

Work-Life-Adventure: Why Young Professionals Need a Break

We at AESU have plenty of upcoming tours for young professionals.

In a modern society that traditionally advocates for decades of continuous work followed by retirement, a shift is happening among young professionals. They are deciding to take planned mini-retirements and career breaks in their 20s and 30s, embracing life experiences and personal growth now instead of waiting until later. We at AESU have plenty of upcoming tours for like-minded young professionals, so read on if you’d like to learn more!

The Power of Prioritizing Passions

Before diving into the advantages of taking career breaks, it is important to understand the importance of prioritizing your passions. Personal fulfillment matters – pursuing passion brings joy, satisfaction, and a real sense of purpose beyond your career. Engaging in activities you love like traveling can also reduce stress, anxiety, and prevent burnout. Your passions are a part of who you are, and traveling while you’re young can help shape your identity. AESU’s tours can help you grow as a person and as a traveler!

Why Your 20s and 30s Are the Perfect Time for Travel Breaks

Your 20s and 30s are the perfect time to take career breaks for many reasons. During this time in your life, you are likely to have fewer responsibilities. Now is the time to travel since you have fewer familial and financial responsibilities compared to later in life. Younger professionals usually find it easier to re-enter the job market and adapt to new roles, too. The skills and experiences gained during a break could positively impact your career’s long-term trajectory.

Planning Your Finances for Time Off Work

One of the top concerns when considering a career break is financial stability. Here are some tips to help you plan your finances effectively:

–       Save your money strategically: start saving a portion of your income far in advance

–       Create a real budget: estimate your expenses during your break and create a more detailed budget

–       Consider an alternate income: look over ways to generate passive or flexible income during your time off

–       Review any insurance and benefits: make sure you have health insurance and understand the impact on your other benefits

–       Create an emergency fund: aim to have a financial cushion for any unexpected expenses.
