This is a possibility. Very low pay though (lower than even I am comfortbale with in some cases). I worked a congressional for 2006 as Field Director. I've got connections to get myself a decent gig in an early primary state starting this summer if I want. Just not sure that's what I want.

Also, I have a part time side gig with the congressional candidate I worked for. He'll be running again so there's always that...

Interesting. I wonder if there are any outside of DC... I'll look into this one. I think I'd be a good fit since I'm very ideologically narrow minded and outspoken about what I believe.

BTW, this is actually what I was looking for. Yes, I have some ideas for what I could do, but I figured OOT might come up with something that I hadn't thought of. Thanks for this one.

If you're GPA was 3.1, you might want to hold that info back as long as possible.

WTF. Dude, if you just graduated things like Brookings or the Hoover Institute or anything vaguely academic should have been obvious.

Nothing to brag about, but it's not like I did awful. It's a decent GPA considering the school I went to. Shouldn't hurt me at all (unless I'm applying to competitive grad school programs, law schools, etc.).
