Date: February 5th, 2010 2:13 PM Author: doobsian dragon Of course it's losing its cache. 5 years ago people still though you should get any BA and good grades to profit!!! 2 years ago people still thought get a law degree to profit!!! Now? Nobody thinks either of those stupid ideas, and non-science higher education is increasingly viewed as a ripoff scheme.

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:16 PM Author: Adventurous idiot Oh I was exclusively referring to credentials as they relate to local politics in cerTTTain areas. Everything you said is true, I agree, except that viewpoint is vastly limited in the general population. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1213326&forum_id=2#14024689) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:19 PM Author: doobsian dragon Maybe. So you're saying, outside of Blue states, that an HYS degree helps someone running for office? I would suggest there is a major real America : lefty Utopia divide on this issue. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1213326&forum_id=2#14024719) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:21 PM Author: Adventurous idiot Yeah, I would say it helps a lot in certain areas It doesn't have the cache that, say, a Rhodes Scholarship does, but it's up there |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:27 PM Author: poppy faggotry the reason HYS degrees are valuable is that they guarantee the person is literate, hardworking, and of above average intelligence. no one wants to elect someone who doesn't know the difference between cache and cachet. lulz

Of course it's losing its cache. 5 years ago people still though you should get any BA and good grades to profit!!! |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:30 PM Author: doobsian dragon HA. Well done. That said, non-XOers would surely forgive forgetting a "t" on a french word.
The other guy also forgot the t, so who is it that is unelectable, Mr. Kerry? |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:32 PM Author: poppy faggotry They'd forgive it in their drinking partners, but probably not in their gov't representatives. Wait, Sarah Palin and George Bush were very popular in are country. Nevermind. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1213326&forum_id=2#14024834) |

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:20 PM Author: Adventurous idiot 1. Go to UG, major in poli sci, intern with local pols, join local political organizations, get involved in fundraising, campaigning, meet and establish connections with local kingmakers/big donors/business leaders
2. Go to HYS, spend most of time working on local pol campaigns, spend LS summers in hometown district working on various campaigns, continuing with fund raising and getting your name out there.
3. As LS draws to a close, get the ball rolling on petitioning for your name on a primary ballot. Work on fundraising, establish base, work on public speaking.
4. Return to hometown and take heroic job - community college teacher, local TTT LS adjunct, public defender, "community organizing" a la Barack Obama, etc.,
5. Run a successful primary campaign
6. Get elected to office

Date: February 5th, 2010 2:33 PM Author: Swashbuckling Filthy Lettuce School Cafeteria I mean, Feingold may have had some overkill when he took a Rhodes Scholarship in addition to UW-Madison --> HLS, but think it worked out well for him.
(Herb Kohl also did UW-Madison --> HBS, fwiw.) |
