有冇興趣來個gap year?
31 May 2016

辭職後去旅行一周或半個月,之後再返新工,好多香港人都做,不過今天要講的是「gap year」,稱為「空檔年」,年輕人停工停學一年,用一年周遊列國,亦有人是去深造個人興趣。有人是停薪留職一年,一年後是重投職場。

 

周遊列國,對於忙碌的香港人來講是充電,充一年又似乎有點過份,一旦有樓有家室,更是天方夜譚。但歐美不少大公司,的確會放員工一個「gap year」,選擇這類假的人亦愈來愈多,我們稱他們為「Gapper」。

 

 

要成為「Gapper」,首先你至少沒任何負債:貸款、卡數等,才可以開始考慮。定下了計劃,就要存錢。除了旅費要足夠,還要醫療和旅行保險的預算。另外如果是深造,儲學費和生活費也是指定動作。

 

有了物資基礎,剩下來你需要的是勇氣,最好尋求到家人支持,因為當你公告要來個「gap year」,四面八方的迴響可能會動搖你,面對親友也是要有個交待會好一點。

 

 

「市面上」關於gapper的勵志故事有不少,有些更出了名,專門寫旅遊blog。不過,如果只是在每個景點前拍照炫耀,那樣不算真的gapper了。

 

離開職場一年,是為走的更遠,更快樂。雖然並不是很多公司,會讓員工有「空檔年」,但也可嘗試向公司講明想法,強調放假對工作有好處,承諾將來會重回工作崗位。當然在提出前,仍是需要做好辭職的準備,因為公司並不一定會批准。
