Is a Financial Career a detriment to a possible Future Political career?

I think our society should run less like a business. I am sure it wont be a detriment for you, most people only care about the bottom line.

I would never ever vote for you if you worked in those industries. The corruption runs so damn deep. I got a degree in economics and my fist and only job in that field was so fucking corrupt that it took about two months for me to have problems sleeping at night because I was told to do fucked up shit that was really wrong.

@johnpowell From where I am sitting, I have the impression that the members of congress are already in the hands of corporate money. I don’t know. Would it make a difference?

I think you need to do what draws you now and worry about later, later. Many people in politics have come from the world of finance – Goldman, Sachs to be precise. Look at Jon Corzine and Hank Paulson.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s financial career doesn’t appear to have held him back any. I’ll bet he’ll be running for a Senate seat to represent NY State by 2013.
