well, as a page, you just serve a duration, once the time is up, you move on.
I had offers to work on presidential campaigns in 96 and then again in 2000. I likely would have spent my off time doing canvassing. it would have been a real idealistic slog.
ultimately, i think, it is a futile endeavor to try and change the system. Inspiring others is likely just as impactful but less futile and more fulfilling.
There is a story, that broke my back, but i usually like telling it over drinks.
