[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What about national service programs, like AmeriCorps/AmeriCorps Vista?[/b] They don’t pay a lot, but I think they give a small stipend plus a lump sum at the end that can be used for educational purposes. Something like that could give you time to figure out what you want to do, while helping others in the community.[/quote] This is a solid suggestion. We host AmeriCorps volunteers and are open to hiring them if they do a good job (public health). They often form friendships with the other volunteers that lead to lifelong social networks and marriages. They usually love the experience and often leverage it into a career, or at the least learn team building, resilience and coping skills. Peace Corps could be another transformative option. Great resume builders too. The alum networks for these programs are powerful.[/quote] Peace Corps will screen out anyone with untreated mental health issues.[/quote]
