applying for my future via the internet

I have one foot out the door. the spring semester is the "preparation for exiting" my masters degree. The fall was so much simpler and easier: it was a full immersion experiential education. Now I have to worry about my next fix. Where will I go in 6 months? There is no clue, no hint towards an answer. I was going to apply for a second year MFA at MICA, but the more I think about it, the more that opportunity will be tying me down to more debt and less varied career options. I still want to live free like a bird, pick up and sail off to the next mysterious local. delicious ambiguity. 
 For now, I am applying to 1. be employed and work for PeaceCorps in a faraway country, or 2. be a volunteer for the PeaceCorps. Application via internet.
my second route in finding secure employment for more than 2 months and have travel be apart of it is going through the US gov't. This is my mother's suggestion. I am not going to believe it would include an actual job. But there is hope.
