    Oh neat, didn’t think I’d meet another PCV here!

    Yeah I recognize the reasons for the differences between pro sports and other sectors but my experiences since graduating have made me appreciate the sports world a lot more than before. Honestly in college I didn’t really make time to watch games regularly and certainly didn’t read about the goings-on behind the scenes, but now I find I have a renewed respect for the rigour necessary in making a competitive team, especially since my PC service has coincided so nicely with Arsenal’s fairly recent ascension. But that’s kind of part of service right? Learning these things about yourself. I’ve realized I want to try putting myself in a more ambitious environment after I’m done here.

      @OlPatchy2Eyes learning about yourself and your own plans and ambitions is an important part of the peace corps experience. Glad it’s helping bring some clarity! Similar to you, I came out of my experience not wanting to work in Intl Dev and have since worked in corporate sustainability for the last 15 years. Cheers!
