The Academic Lives of the Presidential Candidates

Before they hit it big.

Everyone knows that John McCain and Barack Obama are currently vying for votes in the next U.S. Presidential Election, but what you may not know is how the both of them spent their formative years in an academic setting. You may have thought McCain was born in "The Dinosaur Age," but he actually did go to school in a time where there were cars.

And if you ever wondered where Obama worked before he hit it big in Politics, you can now breathe easily knowing that he worked at Baskin Robbin's during high school. McCain and Obama may not have known they were ever going to run for President one day, but their academic career did help influence the direction their life would one day take.
