I was planning to go into politics, and that was my first job directly out of school. Unlike the cool kids who went to Florida for spring break, I link actually walked the halls of Congress to all the North Carolina representatives and handed out my resume. And luckily the staff assistant in Congressman Fred Heineman's office said, "Hey, I'm gonna get promoted. We're looking for someone to replace me." So I moved up to Washington, D.C. about three days after graduating.
