    Maybe you work for next-to-nothing and end up with no networking to show for it, but I doubt it.

    Politics is like pro-sports. There are far more work horses and washouts than celebrities, but nobody spills much ink on them.

    The line to kiss Hillary's ass runs around the block. They aren't all getting in on the grift.

      Oh, I'm sure there's only so much room for the truly successful grifters, but I'm sure a letter of recommendation from her would open a lot of doors to jobs that are relatively well paid and secure.

        I mean... maybe? But I don't think you're going to get one just by kissing her ass for a semester. Its not like she's hosting an Office Hours every night and counting how many people show up.

        Far more likely, she's picking out the people in her class from the richest families and courting them. You're not going to be on her radar unless your last name is Walton or Hermès or Cargill.
