I'm recent MBA grad and just heard that my start date will be pushed back 3 months. What would you do with 3 months off? I'd travel if that were a safe option, but in the current situation don't plan to do so.

If I had 3 months free (but couldn’t travel internationally and was based in the US) then I’d do a US national parks tour, just driving around state to state camping and exploring the parks. The landscapes we have here are just incredible, and from what I’ve heard the parks are open at least partially now. That would be the dream.

You have the rest of your life to grind in consulting / corporate world, it might be a good time to do something fun / interesting that you wouldn't otherwise do since travel is out of the question. That was a big regret of mine coming out of undergrad. I had a few months between graduation and my start date. I wished I had done that (caddied at a historic golf course, worked on a fishing boat, bartender, etc). It's the one time in life you can experience something completely outside of your career path with zero consequences. I think it will give you an interesting perspective on life too. Your 40 year old self will thank you. I don't think its wasting time either. Most senior colleagues will think it's pretty cool. Make the best of this unfortunate situation.
