What are drawbacks to each of the three paths to becoming a lobbyist?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Becoming a legislator is very expensive. Running for office requires substantial support from others, unless a person running for office has his or her own source of financial support. A legislator's pay is very low, so a legislator has to have a source of external financial support.
2. Becoming a legislator's staff member is another path, but these positions are underpaid and the members are overworked.
3. The other path is to study law and become an attorney. However, the study of law is expensive and requires a lengthy time commitment.
