It's a great pathway to law, government and non-profit careers.
The best of all, because it's low pay, participants will likely get full financial aid when attending graduate schools (Most financial aid programs are based on LAST TWO years' personal earnings).
Quite some T4A people get to attend top graduate schools for free, while other people worked for 2-4 years and used their entire savings (plus a sizable loan) for their law school or MBA education.
The ground is leveled once again (money-wise).
So T4A is not a bad deal, in many cases - especially for the ones aspiring for a political career. Doing T4A is like making some good deposits to the bank of human and political capital.
