Being burnt out is just one of a few factors of deciding to take a year off. A semi-major reason that has me leaning toward taking a year off is that if I were to go straight through to grad school I would be dealing with three major life changes [ being alone in a new city, being newly married to someone who is in the military and overseas, and dealing with the demands of being a 1st year law student] at roughly the same time.

As far as work, ideally I would prefer to just volunteer or canvass for some political issue that I'm passionate about since positions like that are designed to be short term anyway.

Thanks for all the feedback, while it is a personal decision, it's great to hear about the experience of others.
