What's New!
So, I figured I would share something interesting I just read about. For those of us who are looking for a job, I read in an article on collegenews.com that the Peace Corps and Teach For America are one of the most desired careers for young professionals fresh out of school. In fact, the Peace Corps was ranked number seven in a large poll. After the recession became more apparent, I also gave alot of thought to joining the Peace Corps or even the NAVY. I wonder if this is actually worse for our economy? With more young professionals going into social work and non-profit fields, that's less people joining the market and earning income which will increase income tax. With our deficit over 1 trillion dollars, I fear this trend is only hindering the recovery of our economy. But, we do need jobs; so, I guess we have to take what we can get. So, for any of you who are struggling to find work, you should check out the Peace Corps and see what they have to offer. What's the worst that can happen? You help less fortunate people out and I'm sure it sets you up for something after your tenure. Just a thought...
