What do you people in your thirties think of interrupting your career for a year to do volunteering or teaching abroad, is it foolish ? Are we too old for that ?.
That hinges greatly on what line of work you're in, and how robust your reputation already is. For myself, in outside sales, it would be suicide. But if you are somewhere in the bureaucratic quagmire of a multi-national corporation: do it.
I think it is a great idea to have more experienced mature people from first world countries to take a break from chasing career, enriching their company's stake holders, raising their spoiled brat kids, and go to third world countries and contribute to humanity
Mid-thirty is the golden years of life and career. Some really old people like 50 years old would do volunteer, why shouldn't we?
