So You Want to Join the Peace Corps: What to Know Before You Go

Practical, straightforward advice (Decatur, GA USA) February 26, 2002 - 4.0/5 stars
This book is the only one of its type that I have found, and is a thorough
resource for those considering joining the Peace Corps.
Much of it is
practical advice for when you are actually a Peace Corps Volunteer serving
overseas. However, it can be quite useful if you are just considering
joining, as it gives you a good look at the realities of serving in the
Peace Corps.I have read it cover to cover and still have many
un-answered questions about life in the Peace Corps, but it did address
many of my concerns in a realistic way. The question-and-answer format
makes it exceedingly easy to read and find the answer to FAQ's of
prospective Peace Corps Volunteers.
However, I felt the book was too
short and would have liked to know much more than was printed. Overall,
it's an excellent starting resource for anyone considering joining the
Peace Corps, or those who have already joined and are waiting to leave for
their assignment.
