I didn't find many people who had a real passion for what they were studying. I read somewhere that most university and college graduates aren't working in fields they studied for 10 years after their degree/diploma. I suppose they realize that this isn't what they wanted to do for the rest of their life. Most people go through life not knowing what they want and not setting long term goals.

Those were an awesome three months. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that a lot of people simply cannot afford to take a year off and do nothing. If they're in school, they may qualify for student loans. If they're working, well, they're earning a wage. My ideal situation would be to retire, do nothing, and take occasional classes at the local university or college just to "keep learning." Somehow I don't see that happening anytime soon.
