Short Sighted?

Dinner: Scrambled Eggs with Black Truffle Salsa (Thanks S!) and Chicken Nuggets

Is taking a 6 months sabbatical short sighted? Is it foolish to take half a year from my career and putting a sizable dent on my savings good idea? I was told to put some pros and cons beneath each one so here goes...

6 Month Sabbatical -> Work overseas
Pros

• Once in a lifetime (?) experience - see the world
• Give myself a chance at working overseas
• Can still come back to Australia for a job

Cons

• 6 months lost in my career
• Lots of Money Spent
• Europe is not a good place to find a job right now or maybe even in the future

Stay in Australia -> Explore Options
Pros

• Continue to have an income
• Continue to progress in my career
• I have existing contacts/network I have not used
• Save Money

Cons

• Do not get to see the world
• Do not get to work overseas (At least in the short term)
• Nothing may eventuate - Waste time
