You receive a stipend, but it is not much - you're supposed to have the same living standards as the people in the community you serve. When you finish the Peace Corps, you are given a "readjustment allowance" to help you re-settle in the U.S.

When Peace Corps Volunteers leave service they get a Readjustment Stipend. This is about $5,000 - $6,000 for two years and three months. It is based on the amount of time you spent in country. If you don't make it the full time or stay extra it is adjusted to reflect that.

Why does the peace corps go to Romania?
They were in Romania for help; now we have not members of the Peace Corps. Unfortunately Romania is invaded now by strange and ridiculous sectarians (Mormons, Yechowists, Adventists, Pentecostals etc.) from the United States; they are not liked by the Romanian people (with a much older religion and more serious than theirs), and all wish to no longer see here these annoying people.
Peace corps good idea or bad idea?
everyone's peace corps experience is different. mine wasn't great but somebody else's could be the "experience of a lifetime". it really depends on the country one is assigned to and luck. some volunteers get excellent assignments while others get really bad ones. having a positive attitude and making the best of it will not make much of a difference if one gets a really bad assignment. i personally would not do it again or recommend it to someone I care about.
