[suggestions] Something fun, culturally engaging, and unique to do for ~ 6 months...

The Peace Corps is typically a 2 year commitment, since the first 3 months of assignment is usually training. Also, as of right now, the application process for recent graduates is close to a full year. Have you thought about teaching English overseas somewhere?

 

Move to the 3rd ward and wear a Clippers jersey all the time.

 

I would say you go and travel, but yeah it can be expensive.

 

I would say teach English in China if you can. They'll get you a contract for up to 6 months and place you in one of their "smaller" cities which usually have a population of 6-8 million. They'll provide you with boarding and compensate you well enough.

I only know this from reading a thread on the bodybuilding forums but the guy there works 2 days a week and makes enough money to dine out everyday and is enjoying his experience. No degree is required apparently but of course it does help. Also you wouldn't need to be fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese or anything either.

 

Move to Japan and teach English.

 

Move to Australia and teach English.

 

Move to the South and teach English

 

Move to England and teach American.

 

Move to america and teach english.

I got a few friends who run the local chapter up here in the frigid north, so I might be able to get you hookups if you're really interested. They're really looking more for business students, but you can still get on the development/education side. It's basically an internship where you travel to a developing country and do work, with some costs covered. There's something like 110 countries, and you choose the country. There's a selection process...but I may be able to help just a little bit about that, provided the Houston group is in touch with the rest of AIESEC. Either way, the process isn't too hard.

I know off-hand that one friend worked with a micro-loan type bank in Ghana, and another worked with an accounting group in Beijing (and got mad amounts of p***y).

So yeah, it kinda fits all three criteria.

 

I'd to the crafting and antique convention circuit. Hot b****es everywhere.

 

you know the theory, women are like scotch

the crafting and antique convention is like drinking 50 year Glenfidditch, if only such a thing existed.

i wholeheartedly support this idea.

 

6 month break

Hey if you're thinking about travel and you've only got 6 months then there are loads of travel and volunteer programs you could do that are a bit closer to home; South and Central America have loads of options like community work and working with animals (http://www.realgap.com/South America). Or if you want to work there are programs like this http://www.realgap.com/China-Paid-Teaching-with-TEFL where you can get the TEFL qualification and then teach for 5 months. Good luck!
