….Two Weeks of Vacation Doesn’t Cut It
1. It means you barely get any time off work. If you do the numbers, you’re working 250 days - or 68% - of the year. Meanwhile, Europeans are only working 220 to 230 days, or 60% to 63%.
2. At best, you’re taking a two-week vacation. This means there’s not nearly enough time to take a big trip - say a tour of Southeast Asia or travels through Argentina.
3. With only two weeks, you’ve got to spread out your vacations or risk going a long stretch without extended time off. Let’s say you take off during March Break and then again in early-summer. That means you’ll go six months without another vacation.
4. Long weekends such as U.S. Thanksgiving don’t count as vacations. Even with four days off, U.S. Thanksgiving barely gives people enough time to enjoy their destination when you take traveling time into account.
