Why take a career break?

Many people take career breaks simply because they can. You might be bored in your job and wonder if it's really right for you. Even if you love your job, perhaps you never got a chance to travel when you were younger, and now seems like a good time. If you've decided to switch careers, you might need a break to retrain. Or you might have an enforced career break, having to look after your kids or an older relative.
