I guess, if you're well off, perpetually single and childless, and have the sort of connections that allow for taking a 6 month break for no reason.

>>Mister+Je
Why would you need connections to take a 6 month break? All you need is a bit of money, 2-4 months of your salary at most.

Obviously if you have dependents it's harder to move physically, but not impossible, and quitting a job is totally doable.

Because a 6 month absence can be a deal breaker in a lot of circumstances where a job is on the line. Employers are going to choose the people with constant employment over the people who quit "just because."
