Peace Corps (http://www.peacecorps.gov/)

Dropping links to a secret like this is kind of obnoxious, js. Like replying to a secret where the OP says they want to be a space marine in Halo with "lol join the military then."

[personal profile] herongale 2011-11-03 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Please explain how the Peace Corps is similar? It's not about exploring new frontiers, nor does it have a military component. Nor does it especially involve advanced and exciting science and/or advanced and exciting technology (of course scientific expertise is useful for some aspects of the Peace Corps, such as the forestry service, but it's usually not cutting-edge).

Just "it's idealistic and is about improving the world!" is not really enough of a similarity to me. In fact the core mission of the Peace Corps directly contradicts the core precept of Starfleet's Prime Directive.

A better recommendation would to say they should explore careers in science that involve the outdoors and exploration, such as geology or xenobiology or astrophysics. Such expertise may also be applicable in a military setting, so they might want to consider a scientific or technological career through the military. Like specializing in hyperbaric medicine with the Navy or better yet, aerospace medicine with the Air Force (this is assuming they are American; other countries often have similar career tracks within their own militaries). This sounds a lot more like a Starfleet-inspired life imho.

This ... is the craziest subthread I've ever seen on F!S. Either someone out there is really butthurt about you or about Peace Corps. Or about links ... ?

(Anonymous) 2011-11-02 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know what you mean about jumping from one thing to the next. I've had at least a dozen potential career choices I've thought about persuing in the last few years and I still have no idea what I want to do. I know that nothing is set in stone and I could change, but then to get anywhere in any field requires you to stick with it. It drives my family crazy too.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-02 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah I would join too! Assuming I could since I already can't join any armed service or the Peace Corp. because of my type 1 diabetes.

[identity profile] shigeruhiko.livejournal.com 2011-11-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
If StarFleet existed, they would have the technology to cure it, I think. They had the ability to do operation-less surgeries. (Oh man, my failure at the techno babble is awful, I am sorry)

Yeah, I still want to go to Starfleet Academy. Realistically, I'd probably bomb out the instant that they ask us to understand technobabble, but STILL.

No, you'd probably still be doing the same thing. If Starfleet Academy existed, it would have the same baggage associated with it as any other real life academy without the fantasy aspect. It would be hard, and you can't just go into a field like that with a flake mentality (which, frankly, you admit to having.)

It's probably the closest equivalent. :)

For whatever reason, I thought you meant Heilein rather than Star Trek.

So at first I was like "Hm!", but then when I realized what you meant though the comments, I was like, "Eh".

Very similar concepts, radically different executions. No offense to Star Trek or anything, it was just never my thing.

Also, Starfleet Academy reminds me pretty strongly of the Air Force Academy, with its emphasis on intellectual and technical brilliance rather than on conventional warfare. And its atmosphere of elitism, which I don't mean in a disparaging way. Just a note.

Heinlein's approach is more... well, to use a modern creative work inspired by Heinlein, Halo's ODST. Like I said, two hugely different things, but similar ideas.
