I think I'd actually have loved to be asked to do mandatory service. [I did it in Israel for a year and paid a shitload, but that's another story.] I think I would have been more likely to take a year off between highschool and college to volunteer if it were more accepted in our society. As it is, I felt pretty off the college-gradschool-career track by going to Israel. Now I'm staying off by working and feel like all my peers keep getting ahead of me. But then I remember that I'm exactly where I want to be and it's all okay again.
