Oh people, please keep posting :) I just might find myself in a situation like this.
I'm just finishing my Advanced School (BS equivalent - tree years) and after, whats that, 8 + 4 + 3 = 15 years of education I want to make a break.
Sure eventually I plan to continue it to at least Masters (and will of course learn as long as I live but I'm talking about attending classes, labs, exams ...), but I want at least one year without it now. On the other hand it would be good to get some job - or at least do more freelancing.
What I plan to do, let me see (unordered):
- Lose some weight that I got after appendix operation and yes a little bit of inactivity. I'm preparing my bicycle (repearing it) for loosing fat. Also slowly started on some fall-trougth, pushups, abs and similar. Guess when I can do those with ~ 10 Kg extra, latter it should be easier :)
- Learn a bunch of things they don't teach you in school (well mostly not). Like CVS, basic Linux and Apache admin, mod_perl (get more experience with it) = they don't teach even plain Perl :( And some business and entrepreneurship knowledge ... planing on starting my own little business ...
- Someone mentioned it before. Write some modules to stop copy/pasting a bunch of code. I do some freelancing and deadline is not yesterday. It's usually 5 days ago or something like that :)
- At least start working on many sites I've planned. One of them (on first place on to do list) is a Perl learning website. Targeted especially @ beginners.
- I've probably forgot something.
Will think about it all when I finish with .edu things. Few exams and two projects (one is dissertation project) to go.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
