Challenging but Reachable.

Suppose u're 25 years old, have just graduated with a Ph.D in political science from an outstanding university, & u're considered brilliant by everyone who knows u. Ur goal is to become a Senator within the next 3years. U have the academic credentials, family background, connections, good appearance, strong voice, & well-developed views that foster a constituency in contemporary society.

The only problem is that ur goal is unreachable. WHY? U forgot the one thing about running for the Senate. U have to be at least 30 years old.

Not totally out of the question, u say? U could lobby members of board to bring about change. Perhaps 28 should be the minimum. After all, in many respects, people are more knowledgeable today than their counterparts of generations ago.

Even if u could start working to have this reform enacted, is it likely that it would happen in time for you to run for the office & be elected by age 28? If so, it's a long shot.

Suppose u're a woman in NASA & aspire to be the first woman to walk on the moon. NASA has no plans for having any "manned" probesto the moon scheduled for the next three decades.

So, what's an ambitious female astronaut to do? Get into the policy & planning division of NASA, redirect toward the moon, & then find a way to be in the next ship headed there?
