13. Bernie Tried His Hand At Teaching
Along with speaking at college classes while he held his position as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, Bernie also spent time teaching. In the 1960s, Bernie graduated with a Political Science degree, and while he tried to get into the political world right away, he ended up teaching at Hamilton College and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government where he taught Political Science. Neither teaching job lasted long as Bernie had other ambitions, such as winning the election for mayor in 1981.
