I’ve never heard of CIEE. I just spent a few minutes on the website, and here’s my issue with it – in Thailand, you earn about $4,800 for eight months work, but pay CIEE about $2,000 in fees. And they can’t promise that your loan payments will be deferred. Frankly, I’d be cautious about any program that charges you money. Financially, that seems like a worse deal than Americorps, and I thought that was low pay.
