Will taking a three-year break from work to pursue a bachelor's create issues with my current job or clients?
Yes, taking a three-year break from work to pursue a bachelor's degree can affect your current job or client relationships.
- For employees: Employers may require you to formally resign or apply for a sabbatical, and a long absence could raise concerns about your commitment and future role. - For freelancers or client-based work: Clients may look for other professionals to ensure continuity, which can impact your income and client base.
Clear communication with your employer or clients is essential to manage expectations. Pursuing higher education is often respected, but planning your transition is important. If you need help with this process, your Leap counsellor can guide you.
