I got a few "Won't you get bored" or "I'd get bored" comments before I started my career break. I honestly don't understand it. I like software engineering (despite burning out), but there are so many other things in the world. I'm a year into my career break and I still don't get the "boredom" comments.

I've always been mystified by those sorts of comments as well. But perhaps I'm just fortunate. I have enough things that I want to do that I could easily fill a decade with them.

Count me in. It's baffling to me, I don't think I'd ever run out of interesting, fulfilling things to fill my free time with. Quite the opposite.
