MIS
I am pretty determined to get an apprenticeship at the Ayahuasca Foundation in Peru. My hope is that I will eventually learn to serve ayahuasca and have a career serving ayahuasca and other plant medicines of the Amazon. That means I will leave IT. One of their programs is six weeks, and I don't have even close to that kind of vacation "in the bank." Some places won't even let you accumulate that much time nowadays.
So, how can I ask for six weeks or even two months off so I can do this? I am happy to do this as UNPAID vacation. I just want to do the apprenticeship, so I can see if I really do want to try this as a career.
The apprenticeships have to be earned, and they can only be scheduled at certain times. I will need to know several months in advance to do this.
Or, should I just quit my job and take a chance on the apprenticeship. I'm 45 years old with 18 years of experience in system administration.
