Has anybody ever joined the peace corps or a similar organization? I'm in my mid 20s realizing that I probably need to stretch myself in ways that would both improve my character and make me a more viable candidate for a good grad school. Not to mention that I'm interested in the US foreign service, and that peace corps is a fairly common pipeline to that. My main concern, beyond getting some weird disease or dying in a war zone, is that the experience will be a waste, and that I'll have to follow dumb rules about where I can and can't travel. Also, I wouldn't be making a lot of money and there are few ways to get around that without being discovered.
