Burned out with your job? Thinking of a career change — but don’t know what you want to do next?
For a couple hundred dollars, you can “try out” a profession for a day or two and enjoy some time away from home by taking a work vacation or a learning vacation.
The official term is a vocation vacation. This type of learning vacation helps you break outside of your comfort zone — get away from your daily routine — and try something new at the same time.
Here’s why a work vacation can be helpful:
- Helps you decide whether a certain career is appealing to you or not.
- Allows you to try different skills — and see if you get satisfaction from using them.
- Lets you see any patterns or behaviors that emerge from your career experiments.
- Keeps you moving forward in your quest for job satisfaction.
