Dealing with unemployment - anyone else?

Hmmm... somebody mentioned Americorps... Americorps doesn't pay very well (from what I've seen, a stipend that is hardly livable, if livable at all -- however, they do provide an education grant at the end, that you could certainly apply to further education and maybe (I don't know, you'd have to check it out) apply to education loans. Anyway, something to think about. I'd love to do Americorps actually, I think it's a great program -- the pay seems a bit of an issue to me, but I think it varies from place to place, and in some areas it might be better. I think it would be incredibly rewarding and interesting.

Bluetree, what a great story you have to tell. To my mind, that's exactly the kind of information that would be useful to a young person (or any person!).
