Imagine how much more valuable you would be at any sales job once you have some international experience.
Make this choice for yourself, not because of family or significant other. If you really think that you can make a "CAREER" out of the sales job, maybe you should stick around. Otherwise, slum it in Europe!! You will have amazing experiences.

Travel now while you can! I traveled Europe for 5 weeks near the end of college and it was a life-defining experience for me. (I even met my future wife on the trip, although we wouldn't end up dating for another 3 years!)
Once you get into a job, you'll find yourself constrained by a lack of time off and the responsibilities of your job. It's nearly impossible to travel for such a long period of time (unless perhaps you're a teacher and get the summer off.) And there's something very different about traveling Europe for 2 months then going for a week or two vacation - once you've been there 3 or 4 weeks, it starts to feel more like home. I highly recommend going for as long as you possible can, at least once in your life!
You'll never regret your decision if you go, I'm confident!

Travel Europe - it's a once in a lifetime thing (for most people). Jobs are a dime a dozen - plus through your travel you may find that you do not want to work in sales and find you are more interested in a different field. Experience life while you can - so when you are lying on your death bed you have the good memories without the regrets & "what ifs".

My opinion is that you should travel for two months. You will likely be able to find a position with good potential in two months, also. I wish I had done something like this. As it is, I went to work directly after graduation and didn't take a real vacation for years after that. My first trip to Europe was much later. While at this point I've traveled quite a bit for business and vacations, I still wish I had done more travel earlier. (And, don't neglect your vacation time for years of working like I did. Do something interesting with it.)

TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL, go for it, so worth it in the end, a job can wait or another found later. I did a 2 month backpack trip in 1999 between jobs and have never regretted it for a second!!!

Definitely go to Europe. I went for two months and it changed my life!
I'm sure another sales job will pop up when you get back.

You may never have this opportunity again, travel! There is plenty of time for work later. You'll regret it if you don't. There are always sales jobs available, you'll find something when you get back.

Go to europe - life's too short to be boring. It may lead to something better than that old sales job. Sieze the moment

Follow your dreams, you have plenty of time to work. Jobs will come and go, but you will always regret not taking this chance now. Go, have fun, make memories.
