One option is something that I have had in mind since I was about twelve. I never really thought it would happen but I realize now that it is a possibility. The peace corps have been calling me for the past few weeks. I have looked into it a bit. I went to a recruiting meeting the other day even. There are so many positives and a few negatives of course.
The positives are this: the possibility of up to 20% of my debt being dropped, my loans will be on hold while I'm out, I would get over 7 grand upon return, I would learn a new language, there are tuition programs for masters degrees upon my return, oh ya, and I would live in a foreign country for over 2 years.
The negatives: I cannot choose where I go to, I would be alone wherever I am, I have to stay for the whole 2 years (pretty much no matter what), I do not get to choose what area i would work in really.
What would you do?
