Dot-Com Refugees Flee To Peace Corps
from the like-generations-before-them dept
Where does one go to atone for their dot-com sins? The Peace Corps of course. Applications from the Bay Area are up 12% from two years ago, twice the national average. I'm sure for many it's a way to do some thing different and fresh. I've recently spoken with friends in the Bay Area who are thinking about leaving and doing something completely non-tech related.

Same hype, different scene
This line at the end of the article got me:
"``Even if I'm just teaching people how to browse the Web, that's good enough,'' Strolle said. ``I don't need to be knee-deep in code.''"
What this shows is a basic laziness. Where is the willingness to roll up his shirt sleeves and teach refugees to get knee-deep in code?
