Can non-masons rise to the top?

Is it possible to rise to the top of any of the following occupations without being a member of some kind of secret society?

Politics
Film
Music
Justice
Pharmacutical

It makes you wonder if people should just give up if they're not.
Let's hope they don't, though!

Take care.

film and music? yeah, but you probably can't rise to superstar status, just because there's a lot of 'selling out' to reach a wide audience. but you can be a respected filmmaker or musician by putting good stuff out there.

I wonder how many masons are stars. I guess occultist would cover the whole spectrum better. It would be interesting to know.

There's always the Jewish alternative

I don't know about the US and Britain, but here in Norway even fishermen and farmers sit in the parliament and the government.

I may be wrong here, but I think it's actually illegal to be member of the Lodge or similar society if you work as a judge or sit in the government.
