So you are thinking of taking some time out of work...are you going to be taking a career break or a sabbatical and what is the difference?
More and more people are wanting to take extended leave to travel the world or pursue a passion, by taking a sabbatical or career break. This may be because normal day to day life is more stressful and people are working longer hours and want to take some 'time out' to make their dream a reality. Some people will refer to this time off as a 'career break', while others call it a 'sabbatical'...so what is the difference between a career break and a sabbatical?
Career breaks and sabbaticals mean that you will be taking an extended period from working, so it is not surprising that people do get them confused.
