Taking a break before Grad School?

Hi, this has probably been posted many times but could anyone give advice on taking a break between undergrad and grad school? I am graduating with a degree in History, so I've thought that going to Grad School is really my only option. Upon further reflection, taking a break does seem like it has benefits. I am also getting my TEFL certificate (originally started as a backup plan) and am thinking of using that to get a job in the meantime.

Long story short - I am young and want to travel/live life a little!! Should I take a break before Grad school or is it worth it to just go ahead and get my grad degree?

Absolutely! Going straight to grad school from undergrad is exhausting and nearly burnt me out completely. Enjoy your life! Spend time working, traveling, developing hobbies. Eventually youight find that grad school doesn't really fit with what you want out of life.
