JCOM 2300: Teach for America helps in poverty

There was an article that just came out in the Student Newspaper at my University. The story is about the teach for America program offered to all students who have obtained a Bachelor's degree in any field. It requires a commitment of 3 years and pays very little. The main selling points are first the positioning advantage after the program, and second the saving of all the underpriviledged students' education. I think it would be an awesome opportunity. I truly think it is important to help the young minds on our own soil, but I find it interesting that the PR Idea centered on the fact that it looks so dang good on a resume. Hmm maybe someday people will start doing things because it is the right thing to do, and not for personal gain.
