Medders, have to agree here with Culprit. Mate get o/s, get lost, find yourself and all that jazz. Its heaps cheaper to do now than when I did it, and having that sort of trip ahead of you is a great incentive to save up some coin.

You will hopefully learn alot about yourself and how to deal with people, and those skills stay with you forever. I know this crazy interweb thingamijib is the wave of the future, but good people skills and the ability to have a meaningful conversation with people outside of the internets will make you a far more employable prospect.

In my experience, most jobs (outside of astronaut/brain surgeon etc) are pretty easy and could probably be picked up in a few months if you are dedicated, and most employers are looking for someone who is easy to get along with, wont disrupt the place, and who works hard. If you are studying it makes you more employable as well, as it demonstrates your desire to improve yourself.

Anyway nothing new here, but mate, you are 20, go and shag a german backpacker in a dorm room in Amsterdam after 2 space shakes and a tequila slammer, go to a house party where you are the only person that speaks english (hard to do nowadays), eat horse burgers in Austria washed down with a stein of excellent pilsner, see a bullfight, see a thai kiddie fight, ride a bike the length of vietnam, get kidnapped in Iraq...umm maybe scratch the last.

Good luck mate.
