I've spent the better part of my career in politics and public policy working on and fighting for education reforms.

I decided that I didn't want to spend my time in a liberal arts college.

I was a Political Science major.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

I'm not sure I had a political career for the future anyway. I'm not sure that politics was what I wanted to spend my life doing.

Politics is tricky; it cuts both ways. Every time you make a choice, it has unintended consequences.

I thought I'd grow up to be a teacher, or maybe run for political office.

I never had to choose a subject - my subject rather chose me.

I just wasn't academic. I wanted to be in the real world.
