Today was my last day interning at Louisiana’s State Capitol. Throughout these past two weeks I’ve met many public officials and their staff along with lobbyists and attorneys. I’ve gotten a lot of advice  from some other college interns what on specific programs would be good for me to study at LSU. I’m interested in lobbying, which doesn’t require any specific degree but since I’ve spoke with a few lobbyists they suggested studying Mass Com and pre-law so I am considering those. I’ve honestly have had a great experience working here and next year I plan on returning as an aid but this time get paid. Politicians usually get slandered for simply being politicians and since working here, I’ve realized we have really good, qualified men and women representing our state. They genuinely love Louisiana and the people of Louisiana.
