Living and working in sub saharan Africa for six years, I have come across a lot of returned peace corps volunteers. Some people really enjoyed their experiences and some super didn't. It depends a lot on the country director of your placement. Some are cool and supportive of project ideas, others are bought into the original idea of peace corps and don't care about projects. The thing in general about peace corps that I tell people is that its mission is not development, it's about giving young Americans experience abroad and cultural understanding. If you're most interested making a difference I steer people towards ngo work. Given your background you might check out global health corps, but there are tons of jobs all over. Check out devex idealist and reliefweb for ideas.
