My question to anyone able to answer this: how can you afford to take a sabbatical period??? I can’t even afford to take a weeks vacation. It would wreck me financially not receiving pay for a whole week. Let alone a year??? What’s going on in this thread?
In this context, it’s an employment specialization that allows you to earn a greater than average income. I was amazed that as a software tester I used to get paid more than a nurse, an arguably more stressful and more important employment path.
I’m on the left. It’s a hard thing that happens in life that I am pointing out, not agreeing with.
I’ve been saving 30-40% of my salary each month for years, it helps not going outside because you don’t like people and watching movies and playing video games. And eating ramen
There are some platforms like World Packers where you receive free food and a bed for helping out in places. But I guess that still doesn’t cover travel, insurance, debt, and any other long term payments you might have to make

step 1 : have a career
step 2 : don’t spend that much money, building up savings
step 3 : time is money, therefore, money is time.
step 4 : be very, very frugal during your time with no work. I ate a lot of protein powder, eggs and pasta
What is a career in your definition?

That’s wild. I’m assuming you’re in the states. I’m a UX designer and on paper I make just shy of $50k CAD.
