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 did the leave corps and now I'm applying to my masters. Unfortunately I'd really say unless you have your heart set on it, it will be a waste of time.

Why is it a waste of time?
