We all have happy memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So since summer has arrived, let’s make full use. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.
Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make full use of cheaper prices while you’re eligible.
Volunteering abroad won’t surprise future employers(老板), but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.
Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine(结合) employment(打工) and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”
Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.
If you have an idea of the type of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree(学位) to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.
