<prompt> Human: Hello All,I couple of quick things: I went to Northeastern University, which provides you with 3, 6 month paid work experiences. I am now graduating with roughly 5000 in student debt, 22,000 invested and 3000 in my savings account. I have a job offer for 65,000 in New York City with a flexible start date it is fortune 100 corporation so I am assuming that I will have solid job security for the first couple of years. I realized how incredibly blessed I have been to go to such a good school for saving money and, after following this subreddit, that life has really worked out well for me financially.I currently have the option to start my full time job in January or start in September. I would like to spend roughly 15K traveling until September, but the opportunity cost of losing that money could be quite expensive in the long run. What factors should I include in my decision?  <response>: Go travel while you have the chance. You wont regret it, so long as there is a job to come back to.I left my first job and traveled for the better part of a year. Came back to the heart of the recession and struggled hard for 3 years. Coming back and really struggling sucked, but Im now glad I took the time to travel. Id be several years ahead in my career had I not gone, but I might never have had the opportunity to travel like that. I say go for it, but definitely dont go into debt while traveling and keep in mind your student loan payments are due 6 months after graduation.
