Currently, i'm in my last semester of a 5 year Computer Engineering degree. I've been fortunate enough to land some nice co-op positions with companies locally, and am happy with my work history.

I'd love to take a few months off to develop my own skills(i love the mobile space, but need some more hands on app development experience), along with a bit of travel, and getting into real-estate with my father.

What's holding me back, is wondering how employers will view my gap in work history if i take a few months off? Will they look at my resume and say "Why didn't this guy get hired right out of school"?

I'd hope that if I had something to show for with my time, then I'd be in a better position in their eyes. I'm not in debt, and have majority of my co-op money saved.

I guess i'm looking for some reassurance. Thoughts?

Thanks.

I've tried searching but can't find it.

It was a link to an "Online School" where their were tutorials all about phone hardware and I think software aswell.

Best estimate of the date is around November 19 th.

Sorry if this is against HN etiquette. Lost the link but really wanted to read through this.

Thanks
