awesome, you can be prezzident of nerdistan-- i recall that "boy's state" and your no-boy experience there. but in any case, yeah you bastard, don't sell yourself short, go for the win. will and grace or no will and grace, you have it in you to shake the shit in this land, if you so wish.
in any case you can teach AND be some sort of policymaker as well-- i once interviewed this TFA volunteer who was going to law school after her stint as a rural teacher. another wanted to become a legislator in her home state to bring about change in education.
here is the thing:

completely false in alex's case. one benefits from one's classmates as much if not often more than from one's teachers. bekerley gets some of the smartest motherfuckers on this planet, some of which study to run and repair supercolliders, not air conditioners. to miss a chance to go to a place like that would be sheer and utter goofiness from his part-- cost be damned!
