My wife wants to join the Peace Corps

She would be away for two years -- twice as long as we've been married!

    Your young, enjoy life

    Why not quit your job and join your wife in the Peace Corp? You will be enriched by the experience and should have no trouble finding a job when you return. Plus you would be able to spend two years living in an exotic location with your wife. What a great bonding experience. What an adventure of a lifetime. I'm 30 years older than you and believe me you are in a position to jump on this situation that won't occur again for decades, once you are strapped with a mortgate, kids etc. Go for it. You are too young to act too old.
