I don't think so. I teach government relations, so I've been down this road before. It's not shoving money in a paper bag. The analogy I use is that the legal system in this country is complicated, it's changing, and if you come in contact with it and get it wrong, the ramifications can be severe. Government is complicated, it's changing, and if you come in contact with it, the same story.
As for what a lobbyist does, it's less of a Rolodex industry now; maybe 20 years ago that's what it was. What you're trying to do is you're trying to prepare a business that has very real economic interests that have to be balanced against other interests of other sectors. They're trying to have a strategy to intervene to make their case heard. I guess it's like anything: it's not as exciting as it sounds.
