Sabbatical year
(Redirected from Sabbatical)
- This article is about the vacation-like concept. For the Biblical concept, see Sabbatical year (Bible).
A sabbatical year is a prolonged hiatus, typically one year, in the career of an otherwise successful individual taken in order to fulfill some dream, e.g. writing a book or travelling extensively. Some universities and other institutional employers of scientists, physicians, and/or academics offer a paid sabbatical as an employee benefit.
Sabbaticals are often taken by cartoonists; for example, Gary Larson and Bill Watterson.
