hoe much education does a politician need?

Question

In our class.We need to research about politician. Can anybody find how much Edu. need? and the chance of getting this job? What a day would like for a politician? Thanks!

Answer 1

none, they are born with all the hot air and lies they need

Answer 2

There is no minimum requirement for education to be a politician. For example, Florida Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart has attended college, but his bio doesn't indicate that he graduated. The "chance of getting this job"? Aren't you taking civics in school? Haven't they taught you how someone gets into elected office (with the obvious exception of the "appointed" president)? A day in the life of a politician? Well, it's a whole lot of meetings interspersed with opportunities to schmooze and drink and get button-holed to vote this way or that way.

Answer 3

Most politicians are college graduates. Many have advanced degrees. There are some who are doctors, some who are lawyers, many with degrees in business and in politics.

As far as the chance of getting the job, depends on them being electable. Do they have enough money to run? Can they raise money? Get volunteers? Communicate where they stand on the issues? What is their background?

I interned for US Congressman Toby Roth of Wisconsin in one of his district offices from 1984-1992 (while I was in high school and college). I did his scheduling when he was in the district.

His day would have him in the office before 8am to sign letters and make phone calls, then he would be out at a breakfast at a Community Center, Moose Lodge, or Veterans of Foreign Wars hall. Then he would meet with some constituents. Then back to the office to call DC and check messages. Then back out to speak to some group like college students or a ladies club. Then back in to check messages and meet with consituents. Then his wife would come in around 4pm and they would head out to wherever they were having dinner (usually VFW or Elk or Moose Lodge, or something like that) and more talking to constituents.

His day didn't usually end until after 8pm or 9pm. Then back in the office first thing in the morning to do it all again. His schedule in DC, of course, when Congress was in session, was really different, and I don't know as much about that.

If it was a campaign year, then double or triple those activities every day. Congressman Roth was a great Representative - he was honest, really listened to his constituents and cared about them, and he represented the district really well. He retired from Congress in 1997 after serving 9 terms.

I hope this helped.

Answer 4

In America we have a Representative government which is ran by elected people. What this basically means is that there is absolutely no educational requirement. However if the majority of people will note vote for you if you do not have a degree then those with lesser educations will not be elected.

Answer 5

It seems most have a college degree, and many are lawyers. They should have mandatory ethics and finance classes for every incoming politician too...

Answer 6

Here in the United States, None, c'mon now look at how stoopid some of our politicians are.

Answer 7

I think you don't need to be a degree holder or anything. Basic knowledge of stuff is the only requirement with regards with education. For other requirements, you must be from the country.

Answer 8

In U.S. none. It's been proven. All one needs is ambition, a narrow mind and be incapable of feeling guilt.

Answer 9

All they need is for as classes are the following:
BS 191(Bull$%R)
LY 190 (Lying)
CO 191 (Corruption)
ST 191 (Stealing)
SH 191 (Speech)

As you can see, anyone can take those classes.

Answer 10

I hope you are taking a good English grammar class too.
