Post Graduation Lull

Hello all,

I'll be starting work at a Big 4 firm in about 6 weeks. I was wondering if anyone did anything interesting or life changing during the time between graduation and the beginning of work. Travel seems the obvious answer but since I'll be traveling for most of the year I figured the time could be better spent doing something else. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

travel somewhere new, have some fun...yes, you'll be travelling when you work, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be seeing much. 6 weeks isn't a massive amount of time

 

Posts like this are always weird. After all, we don't know your interests, your financial situation, or literally anything about you. Nothing you do in 6 weeks will be "life changing." Just enjoy yourself however it is you enjoy yourself.

Like CRE said, knowing nothing about you, just do what you like. If that's traveling, working out, hitting the beach, fishing or sitting around watching reruns in your underwear all day in your parents basement, do it. If you have a few bucks but don't want to plan a big euro style trip, pack a bag, jump in your car and point it in a direction and go. You won't have time to do much once you start working.
