i know several people who have gone to the peace corps. they have all had wonderful experiences that they will never forget. only one person i knew had gotten sick when she was in africa and had to come back! the peace corps not only recruits people from college, but people of all ages. my friend's mom just came back from kenya! it is definately something i have thought about. i even started my application process, but i decided to get my teaching career off the ground in the states first. it is definately not something i will rule out forever. if this is something you truly are drawn to, then check it out! getting info certainly can't hurt.
on a side note...i can't believe anyone would view being in the peace corps as being a tree-hugging liberal....lol. these are some of the things my friends did.....teach english, sustainable agriculture, health clinics, womens education, build libraries, etc., etc. i guess some people really forget about the things that we have that most people don't. i guess i would be a tree-hugging liberal because i am a teacher for children with severe autism and behavior disorders....you know, the kind who belong chained in an institution <said with EXTREME sarcasm>.
