Many folks who drop by to read this site are retirees thinking of their “Golden Years” and how they will eke out a little extra and not interfere with their Social Security or military or Civil Service annuities. Here’s something many may not have thought of … The Peace Corps. Nope, the Peace Corps didn’t dry up and blow away as many might have thought. Our last few administrations, Republican or Democrat seem to have completely abandoned the idea of service to others that is the foundation of the Peace Corps, but in the background it still soldiers on. You’ll never see a Clinton or a Bush surname there but not all of us are elitists who feel we are the ruling class and exempt … some still have the urge to serve.
No one will get rich in the Peace Corps, but they do take people for 18 to 86 (or even older), pay for training, pay for transportation and living expenses on the job, pay a small stipend, take care of medical expenses and pay a small stipend when the assignment is over. Worth a look for some folks. They take better care of you than most states do in prison, and you don’t need to commit a crime!
