<p>as ive stated before ive been persuing a political internship for the summer. I was originally looking for one with a US Senator. one of my teachers, however, told me to contact several state senators that he knew. Would an internship with a state senator be less impressive than one with a US senator or not?</p>
<p>The chances of a high school student getting an intership with a US Senator is slim to none. </p>
<p>If your teacher is recommending people to you that would possibly be interested in doing this, then I would take full advantage of it. It's better to have a chance of something than nothing at all.</p>
<p>well ive had contact with the US Senator's office and I think I have a fair chance, but I wouldn't personally mind doing it at the state level (and I think I might actually be able to get a rec from the state senator because Id probably work through them more directly). just wondering if US senator internship will be weighted much more highly</p>
<p>Plus if you work with a state senator, you have a better chance of being able to live at home and thus save money while you do this (depending on your location within the state).</p>
<p>well obviously someone like John McCain will look better then Billy Bumpkin ""State representative""</p>
