The Surprising Benefits of a Mid-Career Break
Once considered career suicide, sabbaticals are now not only accepted—but encouraged—by some employers. Here’s how to take one and still get ahead.
When Winston Chen told his friends that he had quit his job as chief technology officer at a software company to move to a small island in Arctic Norway with his family for a year, few people called him crazy. Instead, most people simply replied: "I wish I had the guts to do that." At first, he said he was concerned that time away from the industry might hurt his career. "That’s the main reason that keeps people from doing this, and I was no different," he said in an email. "But you have to create the urgency for living the life you want."
While many people dream of taking time off mid-career, few actually do it. But the number of people taking lengthy sabbaticals later in life is increasing, according to experts. That’s in part due to companies becoming more open to the idea and the higher rate at which people are changing jobs. And depending on how you play your cards, you can return with a better job than when you left.
Of course, not all employers will be open to the idea of a gap year. "Many employers are not so keen to see someone take off for a year because of the need for business continuity and consistency." said Reboot Partners’ Smith.

答案
We Need Sabbaticals Sabbaticals are more accepted by the society because some people think they can live the life they want during the break. However, some employers worry that taking one year off may influence the business. In my opinion, there is no doubt that we need sabbaticals. Firstly, employees can get the excellent chance to relax and promote themselves. Sabbaticals are not only about relaxing. More importantly, employees may have more freedom to do what they really want to do without restrictions from companies. They will have time and energy to learn some new knowledge, following the forefront views in their field. Secondly, people who are away from working stress can create more brand new ideas and thoughts which can be applied to his or her next job after sabbaticals. In addition, they will have more fresh and cheerful spirits to work and solve problems. After the break, they may start a new career and new business. Thirdly, it can be also beneficial for the employers. If employees become more creative and energetic, undoubtedly they will work more efficiently and raise the productivity for the company. Therefore, sabbaticals are beneficial both for employers and employees. They should learn to appreciate its advantages and the successful system should be acted in our society.
