Has anyone ever been in or known anyone in the Peace Corps?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I personally haven’t heard any amazing stories, however, I’m sure I just haven’t come upon the right people yet. My aunt and uncle joined after they finished their degrees. They enjoyed it for the first year, but after that they found it quite miserable. My mom told me their experiences there drove them to consider divorcing, but as soon as they got back to the states everything was fine. I don’t really know what happened there though, but it must have been more stressful than enlightening. On the note about agriculture, most of my friends who are applying for that aspect of the Peace Corps are being asked to teach English – and these are kids with a B.S. in Biology, Environmental studies, and even Agricultural studies who have all interned at farms. There must be a reason why they’re not interested in people in that area, but once again, I don’t know all the facts.
