[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found americorps to be a waste of life. Underpaid and surrounded by idiot wannabe tyrants. Doesn’t help your resume and not a network of creepy people I ever tapped or ever sought to even associate with after that year.[/quote] There are different "tracks" in Americorps-- NCCC, VISTA, and a ton of local programs. Most programs are locally managed and there is a ton of variety. I don't think you can generalize about Americorps because it really depends on the specific organization you're working with. It's like saying "college is a waste" when obviously every school is different. I suspect PP did NCCC or the old-school Americorps, where you were part of a cohort that did a series of short-term projects. I do think that "track" is less valuable than, say, working in a rural clinic or a domestic violence shelter for a year (which I/ a friend did through Americorps).[/quote]
