Memo to Peace Corps Vets
<p>One of my more positive futuristic visions, woven into my science fiction (blogs, websites, other social media) is: my “Trucker Exchange Program” also dubbed “Truckers for Peace” (T4P).</p>
<p>Picture yourself as a truck driver in Ethiopia who gets recruited for, or signs up for, an academic program that will let you apprentice on distant routes, such as Beijing-Tehran (part of One Band One Road). Eventually, you might get to drive it solo, or be the teacher for someone new.</p>
<p>Although the freight has to keep moving in a timely fashion (a fresh driver takes over as you pull in to Kabul, having just done the Khyber Pass), individual drivers such as yourself often get multi-week tours of duty, including R&R, on various campuses, where you’ll learn local history and gain language skills, along with higher level STEM skills.</p>
