Financial Security and the ability to say that I was a doctor were the main factors in making such a decision. However, shortly after making this decision I payed somewhat closer attention to the National Healthcare Reform talks, and after speaking with a doctor about his views on the Reform plans, decided that the Financial Security was no longer a guarantee. It was then that my Advanced Placement Government class began the study of Interest Groups, and then, lobbyists. The idea that I would be paid to be persuasive, eloquent and an effective representative enticed me, because I do my best to do these things daily. I was further allured by the job because I am, and always have been thanks to my politically active family, interested in politics. Like you, (I've read some of your other posts, but intend to read them all) I find politics too cutthroat for myself, but lobbying seems the perfect job for someone with my individual talents and interests. I plan to major in political science, but I was wondering how does one go about procuring internships? Are they acquired with phone calls, or recommendations? If I can start on this path early, then maybe I can secure a well paying job more quickly. <br /><br />Thanks for your time, and hoping you read this and find time to respond. - Zachary DeCrescenzo<br /><br />Email- zachary@decrescenzo.netZachary DeCrescenzonoreply@blogger.com
