I'm in high school right now, and thinking about my future. I'm not sure what I would like to do career-wise, although forensics/CSIs (science) appeals to me. I am learning Spanish right now, and will continue to learn through high school and college. On the side, I would like to get a degree so I can edit books, say if I'm at home with kids.
I love to travel more than anything, and other cultures fascinate me.My greatest dream is to little by little see the world. My favorite food is anything new and not American. :) I don't have much experience with living without the luxurious American needs (AC, running water, etc.) but I think I'm willing to try it.
My question is...If I decide I want to serve in the Peace Corps, should it be right after I graduate from college? Will it ruin my chances of a job as a CSI, or whatever I want to be, if I am abroad for two years? What else should I consider if I want to try this? Do I need to get a different degree, separate from whatever is geared toward my career, in order to get into the Peace Corps?
And...if you happen to know of any other careers that might be similar, let me know. :)
Thank you so much!
