Hi all,
To make a long story short, I'm worried about what taking a year off (or potentially more) to be an ALT could do to my career back in the US. I'm currently working in tech as an app dev, and I'm early in my career. I'm also considering going to grad school, and where I work is tied to a university, so I can essentially go to school for almost nothing.
I'm only 25, so part of me is saying that since I'm young, this is the time to be risky, but a lot of older folk are saying this is a foolish time for me to leave and take a job that will have nothing to do with my career in the long run.
Any thoughts or personal experiences?
