Synopsis:  A complete and thorough guide to taking a career break.

While the benefits for students taking a Gap Year have long been accepted, there are now an increasing number of older people putting normal life on hold to go off and see something of the world.

Aimed at just these people, Gap Years for Grown Ups includes all the essential information on the range of opportunities available to the qualified adult. Including specialist gap year schemes and jobs and voluntary opportunities across the world, this book is essential to planning your career break.

Special features include how to persuade your boss to grant you leave as well as advice on how to finance your trip and deal with the eventual return to work and domesticity.

The guide also features over 100 first hand accounts from adults who have taken successful gap years and can advise other grown ups of what to expect.

Revised and updated edition available September 2008.
