I know a couple people who had pretty cushy jobs right after graduation, worked a few years, then said "F- that" and quit to go teach English in Asia.
They came back a few years later, and their careers were never the same again. They have lost their Canadian work history as they went overseas for a long while. They are now working at entry-level low end jobs that are totally irrelevant to their education. In fact, one of them came back for a year, cannot find suitable employment, working temp jobs, and now went back to Asia and he will probably never come back to Canada for work.
What I try to say is that if you decide to quit your current life and venture out for a long period, when you come back, prepare to start your life from scratch...
