Ever heard of the Watson Fellowship? It’s awarded to graduating college seniors and is mind-blowingly fantastic. From the Watson website:

“The Watson is a rare window of time after college and pre-career to engage your deepest interest on a world scale. Fellows conceive original projects, execute them outside of the United States for one year and embrace the ensuing journey. They decide where to go, who to meet and when to change course. They do not affiliate with academic institutions and may not hold formal employment. The program produces a year of personal insight, perspective and confidence that shapes the arc of fellows’ lives. Started in 1968, Watson Fellows comprise leaders in every field. The one-year stipend is $30,000.”

New college grads be damned. If YOU could become a Watson fellow right now, how would you spend the year?
