Answer 1

Yes, because though most Governance employees have a bachelor’s degree, it is not required.

In many cases, having relevant experience, skills, and a strong commitment to public service can compensate for the absence of a formal degree, especially in elected positions. Gunther's military background and passion for public speaking could provide him with valuable qualifications for a role in governance.
