"You have to have a very high tolerance for ambiguity if you want to be successful in the Peace Corps.  Nothing is as it seems--your placement (job and/or living conditions) may not be as described, the locals may not react as you expect, etc. etc.  You really have to be able to \"go with the flow\".  Plus since most placements are in developing countries, you really have to expect the unexpected.  One of my friends was placed in one of the countries that was part of the USSR (I can't remember which--I vaguely remember Latvia, but I may be wrong), and she and all other PC people had to be evacuated.  It was a very trying and stressful time for her, and she experienced a lot of guilt over the people she left behind, plus anger over situation, etc.   \n  \n\nHigh tolerance for ambiguity.  And flexibility.  I was told those were two of the most important traits for PC volunteers. \n  \n\nETA:  Related to above, there's no \"typical stint\" in the Peace Corps. \n"
