I'm curious what work/employment circumstances you guys have had that have allowed you to disappear from your jobs for 6 months then restart your lives after again.
Did you quit your jobs? Were you self-employed desk jockeys who could just keep working from your laptop? Did you get an extended medical leave of absence?
I assume some people can run companies from their hospital beds. Some people will have ditched everything though, which (in my opinion) .. isnt that bad.
Seriously need to consider this topic more, as I'm kinda confused how it works.
A job where you sit all day behind a desk, like an office job. Or you'd probably have to move back in with your parents while you recover, although I don't know how much they'd like that...
In the particular field of work that im pursuing workers are high in-demand so I'm not too worried about that but I was once wondering that too because its hard to get a office job in my state.
Good question. I like if you had skills like being good at art or programming, then you could possible freelance at home while you recover (Fiverr comes to mind). If that doesn't work then you can always get a job as IT support.
Another possibility that I can think of is taking online surveys to make a little bit of cash while you recover. (Though I've never tried this before..)
It would probably be best to save up money for while your recovering to be more secure and (if possible) move back in with your parents in my opinion.
Im doing the first surgery before I graduate or even start university so I will have plenty of time to kick back (haha) and relax during the 4 month break between college and university.
I'm taking a gap year before I enroll in medical school, so that's when I'm trying to do it so that I have enough time to recover properly.
Very great topic, no body talk about about this!!
People here make me fee like they are all millionaires or just don't work....
That's one of my biggest challenge right now, how i can possibly go away from office for months, since i can't tell anybody about my plan and i don't want to loose my job!!!
a lot of people here just deal with the fact that most places won't let you leave for 6mo-1yr and come back. If you are competent in your career, you can always get another job. No one here is a millionaire a lot of people just worked very hard and very long hours and expected to have to get another job after LL. It's the reality
LL is not for people that don't have both money and time, it's sucks but it's the nature of the beast.
