No, what I meant was I'm going to take a hiatus from pursuing a 9-5 desk job after graduating. Ya know, take a break from the rat race.

That applies to what I'm saying too. A potential employer might not appreciate or understand why you decided to take a hiatus. Not to mention that new potential employees will be graduating, as qualified for whatever jobs you're interested in pursuing as you are. It seems to me, that it would be possible to take some time off while looking for jobs you might be interested in. You never know when a good opportunity could come along and it would be a shame to miss out on it.

Ugh. Frak that. I refuse to adjust my lifestyle for future employers. xkcd puts it better than I can: http://xkcd.com/137/

I'm sorry for sounding like a bellend, but I just don't see the value in thinking that. If a potential employer doesn't like what you're doing with your life, why not just hop on to the next?

You'll see what I mean, sooner or later.
