Maybe you take those 5 years and see some of the world, see things a completely different way. No where is perfect but everywhere is different. You can work hospitality just about anywhere if you decide you want grind out some shifts in the midst of it. My country, heaps of people in their 20s and older travel and work overseas for years. If you don’t like it you can always come home and not be too far from where you started.
But…. weren’t you getting a kitty?
