[quote=Anonymous]I am a lobbyist for a small trade association and I make $116k. I think lobbyists generally come from one of two paths: a) Hill work (often plus law school and/or Presidential and Congressional campaigns). Their strength is their connections to committee staff and members of Congress, but they may not be subject matter experts in what they lobby on. b) experience in a certain field, and then they wind up lobbying on it. May have less Hill experience and more subject matter knowledge. This is the path I took. I met a guy at a campaign fundraiser once who lobbied for a trade association of railroad conductors--he'd been a conductor himself, as had his father. He knew more about trains than about politics: it was fun to talk with him! Sometimes folks in this category come up through a union or other trade/industry organization. I think a) usually get paid better than b). [/quote]
