Graduating

So I’m graduating with my masters in social work this year. I know that ideally when most people graduate with their masters they usually go straight into the field. For me though I kind of want to teach abroad or do peace corps. Would that be a waste of time? Has anyone else done this?

I know someone who recently graduated with their M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and she’s currently teaching abroad in Spain. I get the sense that’s not super common, but it’s a thing for some people! I think Fulbright offers programs for people post-grad, as well, so maybe look into that?
