If Obama doesn't fix the economy in a year, I'm seriously considering joining the Peace Corps.

Free travel.
Free housing.
Stipend at the end.
Humanitarian resume line.
Life experiences.

At least that's what I hear.

The best that can be hoped for really is the economy will start to improve. "Fixed" is a long way off. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 2, 21:17
don't count on it being significantly better in a year and do the Peace Corps for your own reasons, not economic -- nm - tv's pigby Feb 2, 21:08 6
- I agree with the pig. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 2, 21:10
- I mean to say that it's a much more lively-looking option the more the economy crashes. That or take a year off traveling anyway. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 2, 21:09 4
  - well it's not exactly like a paid vacation abroad, as i understand it - tv's pigby Feb 2, 21:14 2
    - We met a group of Peace Corps volunteers in Morocco. I don't remember what they were working on, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 2, 21:20
    - And in some pretty squalid and dangerous conditions at times. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 21:20
  - In another year we will all be sneaking over the border to get jobs in Mexico. -- nm - Phil Connors Feb 2, 21:11
