[nabs-l] Study abroad advise

[Adrianne Dempsey]

If you are still interested in going over seas while your still young, you 
might consider teach for America.  It is not studying, but you will still 
learn allot.  You do not have to have a teaching certificate to be involved 
with this program.  Don't confuse it with teach America  which is different.
