I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. The reason to volunteer isn't to get a job doing that thing, it's to meet people. I would think Washington, more than just about anywhere else, is about connections. It has a population of HIGHLY educated people who have come from literally all over the world to just be a part of the action in any way they can and are willing to take crap pay for that privilege. A person would be wise to give herself every possible advantage. Or move away, gain that valuable experience in a dramatically less interesting place and move back when your skillset matches their need. For instance, you could go to Georgetown, then move back to Arkansas and become governor and then move back to Washington to become president. HA!
