I share the dream, but always get scared by health insurance, and also interviewing from a place of "yeah i quit my last job and for a while i've been eat/pray/love ing." But I know some guys who have pulled it off. Just need a good way to tell the story, like do something cool

Lawyers get absolutely resume-gap crushed. You would need to start applying for new jobs 2 months into your 6 month sabbatical, only to start 2 rungs down the corporate ladder than you were before when you go back to it.

I know what you post here and it's pretty awful unless it's just some weird jewish schtick.

go bitch about your mom some more instead of being grateful that she's literally a fucking millionaire and you don't have to worry about her. then go blow $10K on a bag of nickels and book a trip to Portugal for just yourself and then go make $100 worth of porterhouse steaks and not share them with your family.

fuck off you insane weird fag.

This makes even more sense for people with kids because it's particularly time sensitive: You (should) want to do it while they're young and you can spend a lot of quality time with them.
