The commute. Breckenridge, CO
The idea of a “Gap Year” is quickly gaining speed in today’s world of “5 years prior experience” and “unpaid internships.” Rather than spending countless hours in your parents basement “job hunting” and waiting tables for your local small-town pub, do something that is worth your time and energy. Do something that is new; something that is interesting; something that is intellectually challenging and professionally productive. “Good things come to those who go out and eff-ing get it.”
