A resident of Albion, Maine, who graduated from a masters program has been selected as a White House fellow.

According to the Morning Sentinel, a local news source, 38-year-old Kendric Robbins will be among 15 other highly qualified specialists who will spend one year at the nerve center of the nation's politics.

"I have several areas of interest but will be happy to serve anywhere in the administration," he told the news provider.

"The experience gives you insight into how our government works and prepares you to better serve in your field in the future," he adds.

The fellows work closely with the Obama cabinet's senior members and take part in an education program designed to broaden their knowledge of leadership, policy formulation, military operations and current affairs.

Robbins holds a bachelors degree in American politics from West Point as well as a masters of public administration.

Pay Scale.com, a research company, says that average salaries for holders of masters of public administration degrees ranged from $38,021 to $100,331 in 2008, depending on the field, position and years of experience.
