So short answer, no you dont need a graduate degree. From my research I found that its best to focus on NETWORKING and the best way to do that is through interning and meeting as many influential people in your community (or DC) as possible to get you higher position. You're quiet literally trying to climb the latter that is laid flat on the floor until you reach the position of your liking by kissing many butts.

However, after a bit of time searching the internet to find out how...I have come to the conclusion that I am lacking a few qualifications possessed by your average lobbyist. One being that I have no prior political background whatsoever. Though I do consider myself to be a quazi political activist of sorts. Two, that I am already 35 years old with a family. And Three, besides self education through extensive reading(namely history, science, religion, and politics)I am NOT a high school graduate. So what I would like to know is if any of these things would prevent from pursuing this avenue, and if not...how would I go about doing so as I can not seem to find any answers online. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this matter. I can be contacted at cancelr@yahoo.com Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you or ANYONE that may know SOMETHING I can do.

I have worked as a social worker on the direct services delivery side since I obtained my MSW in 2001. Even then, I thought about becoming a lobbyist, but my career took a different path. I have been out of the service delivery side of social work now for over a year and a half, but the idea of becoming a lobbyist has never completely left my mind. I am passionate about politics and love to write. However, I have never worked in government or politics. My question is the same as other people's: How do I get into lobbying? Where do I start? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have time to offer.

I am 25 years old, with a BA in political science I went to a small school (Saint Leo University) and I am now working on my MBA (Everest University). When I was in High school I was the recipient of a full paid ride to attend the JSA summer program (Junior Statesmen of America)- At Princeton University. I have always had a passion for politics but never really knew what I wanted to do. I am the product of a hard working single mother who kept me in private catholic school most of my adult life (even college). I know have an awakening and realize I want to be a lobbyist. It has always been a field of interest for me but always feared the hardship that comes with taking that road. I work for a for profit organization that is constantly under scrutiny and have learned a lot about life and what it means to work for what many consider the bad guy. I can do this! I feel like I am somewhat late on the lobbyist game because I am 25 and never was required to complete an internship in college- quite frankly I didn’t want to and never thought about it much. At this point in my life I have seen what the corporate America has to offer and I want to go after the big guy! I need a mentor just someone to talk to and help me get on this path. I’m considering putting everything in my life on pause to pursue this dream, I know what I want I just need to figure out how to get it. Being that I like structure I have decided that listening to someone, or seeking guidance from someone who has gone down this path would be wise.

To think we put in office the richest people who only care about getting richer, no one seems to care about the country and its standing as a super power. We need to hire a regular everyday person to run the country. Someone who cares about our people and solving our countries problems. Think of how powerful our country would be if it were debt free and unemployment was virtually nonexistant. Think about it as lobbyist play a very important role in pushing a country forward or in reverse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942857213775341223.post-73650389594582085352012-04-20T22:17:11.411-04:002012-04-20T22:17:11.411-04:00...for those who can afford it....for those who can afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1942857213775341223.post-80645831132887094672012-04-04T21:19:36.638-04:002012-04-04T21:19:36.638-04:00I am a current senior in high school and my dream ...I am a current senior in high school and my dream is to become a lobbyist.
