USA politicians are what degree

The Senate did not American Dr.

In the higher education the proportion, USA did not come out in front in the world. According to a 2012 OECD (OECD) statistical report, in 2010, 25 - to 64 year olds, in USA, 42% received higher education. While Japan 45%, Canada 51%, Russia 54%. The highest in South Korea, 65%.

But much higher than Chinese. China ratio is about 5%. In recent years, Chinese higher education make a spurt of progress, the current data is estimated to be 10%.

In general, at this stage, the proportion of educated people, Chinese about America 1/4.

To the problem. According to the 2013 December Southern Weekend reporter, in combing the 27 provinces of secretary of municipal Party committee of information, found that 286 of secretary of municipal Party committee, there are 46 undergraduate students, 179 masters, doctoral and post doctoral 58. People feel "imbalance".

American no "provinces of secretary of municipal Party committee". There are 50 states America, similar China province. I find the public information is America governor. Results showed that, 50 governors, doctoral and master's proportion, compared to 27 provinces, municipal Party committee secretary China, do well.

The American governor, 2 have a medical doctor degree, 16 with a Juris Doctor (Juris Doctor), 2 with a master's degree, which has a master's degree in a total of more than 20, accounted for 40% of the governor. Chinese 27 provinces and municipal Party committee secretary, has a master's degree or above 237, accounting for about 83% of the total.

In America, degree level and salary level was proportional to. For example, the 2011 statistics show: the median annual income, high school graduates is $30000, two-year community university graduates for 30000 $7000, graduates of about 40000 to 5000, while the master and doctor is about 50000 $9000. American implements 13 years education. 1 years from kindergarten to high school, a total of 13 years. After graduating from high school, usually if conditions permit, they want to, will continue to enter the university.

So, USA governor most educated, is easy to understand. However, there are three without bachelor's degree diploma.

Utah (Utah) governor Gary Herbert (Gary Herbert) he attended Brigham Young University-Provo, but did not finish school.

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker ( Wisconsin) (Scott Walker), studying in Marquette University for 4 years, has not been able to obtain the graduation certificate. Because he is busy to pay the tuition for IBM to work in the school.

Arizona governor Jane Breuer (Jan Brewer), have attended only Arizona Glen Dyer community university. Community University America is community oriented university, no entrance threshold, high school graduates can be admitted. Not graduated from high school, also can take high school courses or technical skills, where the curriculum, in order to obtain the job required certificate. Breuer is radiology technician certificate (radiological technologist certificate).

America Congress is USA legislature. But lawmakers are not uniform high degree. The number of master and doctor, and even a little surprise. I looked at the 2014 January update "the new members of the 113rd Congress" (Membership of the 113th Congress). In general, most members of Congress have received higher education. The details are as follows:

The house of Representatives, 93% have a bachelor's degree; Senator, 99% have a bachelor's degree. However, there are 21 House members and 1 senators have only a high school diploma.

The house of Representatives, have the highest degree 7 are associate degree two years of university community (Associate degree).

Master and doctor is not much. Congressman, 85 who received a master's degree, 20 ph.d.. A total of 105, in the house of Representatives, 454 members in about 23%.

Senator, 14 have master's degree, but no doctor. The Senate is American two members each, a total of 100. Master degree or above, accounting for 14%.

A doctor working in the Department of Dermatology when the governor

   American politicians have many are "left".

Idaho governor Butch otter (Butch Otter) when the ideal just do an electrician or a carpenter. He said, my father is an electrician, high school education. Do an electrician or a carpenter, it requires only a high school diploma. His father said to the son, unless you want to be a priest, you don't need to read the above senior high school. Later, thanks to auto change ideal, like politics, before entering Idaho College study, in 1967 obtained a bachelor's degree in political science.

In addition to politics to see outside, American politicians also have other professional origin.

Oregon (Oregon) governor John Jichabo (John Kitzhaber), in 1973 obtained doctor postdocs, served for 13 years as an emergency room doctor.

Alabama governor Robert Bentley (Alabama) (Robert Bentley) is a medical doctor. In politics, has opened the Department of dermatology clinic, a doctor.

Minnesota governor Mark Brandt Dayton (Mark Brandt Dayton ) to study psychology. His family was good, great grandfather was the founder of the Dayton department store chain. Dayton has the condition to study for higher degrees, but in 1969 he was awarded a Bachelor of Science in psychology, namely teaching in New York. Two years later, to Boston to do financial work.

Nebraska (Nebraska) governor Dave Hainer door (Dave Heineman ) graduated from West Point (United States Military Academy), the professional course is the military aspects of the.

Texas (Texas) Governor Rick Perry (Rick Perry) study is with the politics without relationship of Animal Science (Animal science).

Both houses of Congress, some also belongs to the "heroes do not ask the origin", professional and political detached.

The 90 House members and 12 senators, was originally a teacher, Professor, school funding, school counselors, administrative or coach.

In both the house and Senate, 24 doctors, dentists, originally is the veterinary surgeons and psychiatrists.

The house of Representatives, 3 psychologists, 5 nurses. Senator, 1 is an optometrist.

Of course, most of the members or "professional counterparts".

Congressman in 24 former mayor, Senator in 9 former mayor.

The Senate has 10 former governor. House members (including 2 delegates) were 8 former vice governor.

The house of Representatives 7 once served as a judge. Members of both houses, there are 32 former prosecutor.

From the University of professional point of view, the house of Representatives, 187 studying business, 77 school is education, 184 schools is the public service and the political. In the Senate, the three professional, respectively, 27, 15, and 42.

Members of both houses of the 211 studied law.

The governor, a higher proportion of the law. In addition to the 16 doctor of law, there are 12 university major is law. A total of 28. That is to say, the 50 governor in more than half of the legal professional background.

The former ambassador to China, Luo Jiahui had served two terms as governor in the state of Washington, he was a law student. The current governor of Washington's law.

About half of the politicians who studied law, which shows the America is an emphasis on the law of the country.
