Army alternatives

If you're not into the military, but you're looking for a way to serve your country and earn some money for college, then consider checking out AmeriCorps. There are hundreds of different non-profits that our supported by AmeriCorps of which you can be a member, from Habitat for Humanity to Outward Bound. You become a civil servant, volunteering your time, while receiving a living stipend and earning about $5000 for college tuition. I helped run an elementary after school program in Atlanta and enjoyed every minute of it. The experience was rewarding and the opportunity to serve was very meaningful.
