Taking a year off after residency

[Drkhan.endo]

Hi guys, I'm so confused with my life.

I am about to start 3rd year next month and its time to look for jobs/apply for fellowships. I'm really interested in endocrine but I'm so tired of being in training and not having time off to do whatever I want. I don't want to work as a hospitalist or primary care because I'm on a J1 visa so I need a waiver and if I start working i'll be stuck in that waiver job for 3 years. Also, Im from canada and want to go back as my husband and family are there.

My question is: I really want to take a year off after I graduate is that normal? has anyone ever done that? Plan to have a kid etc
