1. I've been totally cool since, but a couple years ago I was treated for a few months for depression. If they see that on my medical record, is it going to be an issue? 2. I'm a registered EMT-B (but, due to no job opportunities, have no field experience aside from clinicals.) Would this open up any other positions for me that my English BA wouldn't?

Well, I'll probably just avoid mentioning it. It's not like I was committed or tried to off myself or anything nuts. Basically, things had ended between my fiance and I, and I was like, "Well poo poo, I feel awful. This is the kind of thing people go and see shrinks about to make sure it doesn't get crazy, right?" So it was me getting a professional to help me through a part of my life that I knew was going to be really terrible. So, that spawned some more questions. Isolation? As in, you don't see other people that are in the program for most of the time you're there, or it's hard to make friends across cultural boundaries, or what? I'd think that lovely conditions would factor in, but I went to the University of Hurricane Katrina, so I think I have a little bit of an idea of my tolerance for that. Also, if you get into teaching english (probably what I'm most qualified for), is that all you ever do, period? Or can you go do some manual labor on the weekends? I think I'd be okay with the "not making a difference" thing, but it'd make it a million times easier if I could see a tangible thing that I did. Even if it's just one house that I helped build/rebuild.
