[quote=Anonymous]“The toughest job you’ll ever love” - it is very true. It is HARD. Not the work itself, but the cultural, language, and homesickness parts. It is an incredible experience and serving was a keystone experience in my life. It did help me get a job, but in a field that no longer exists - USAID funded public health. If my kid wants to go into the Peace Corps I will cheer them on. Not for the job prospects but for the way it shapes you into a more informed and curious and flexible person. And I mean flexible in multiple ways! 30 years later I still value the ability to comfortably squat for as long as needed. You never know when the only toilet availability will be a hole. And if that makes you go “ewwww!” rather than laugh…you are not Peace Corps material.[/quote]
