Scheduler, huh? She really does have a lot on her plate. Her organizational skills must be superb to be able to juggle all those appointments and obligations. Good for her! I thought she was doing a great job. I remember thinking "My god, she is being MOBBED with people trying to get near the Senator, and she is handling each and every request with complete grace."

I was breaking a sheen just watching the whole swarm.

The wine may have been a factor too, however. :-)

Edit:

This:

"Legislative Assistant - In some congressional offices there are several Legislative Assistants and responsibilities are assigned to staff with particular expertise in specific areas. For example, depending on the responsibilities and interests of the member, an office may include a different Legislative Assistant for health issues, environmental matters, taxes, etc."

...sounds interesting. Especially this part:

"Legislative Assistant for health issues"

Once I have some years of nursing experience under my belt, (particularly in public health, which I intend to do some of) this might be an option, and a way to help the community on a larger scale. I have also considered the option of nurse lobbyist, but I'll have to see in the future if I'm willing to swim in the shark tank that is the lobbyist world. :-)

I'm always looking for ways to combine my chosen profession (nursing, chosen out of necessity) and my REAL passion (politics, somewhat on the back burner for now while I train for a lucrative career that I am guaranteed a job in RIGHT AWAY...)

Legislative assistant is a another good option to consider.
