Career breaks: How extended leave can be good for your career

Tired of answering email and sitting in the same cube all day long? Looking for some dedicated time away from your job?

Whether it's a month volunteering in South America, or two years taking pictures in Kazakhstan, Sherry Ott can help figure out how to take a career break, and make it work for your career too.

Ott is with Meet, Plan Go!, a group that offers inspiration and how-to advice on career break planning and travel.

She joined MPR News' Tom Weber in the studio to talk about her experience - and take listener questions.
