Any thoughts you have now looking back on peace corps days?:

Peace Corps service opened my eyes and many doors. Hiring folks decided that working in SE Asia wouldn't be a problem for me in my first government job. Peace Corps flexibility, experience in different cultures, and ability to work with a wide variety of people were key to my career path and volunteer efforts. Thanks, Sen Humphrey and Prez Kennedy!!
