That would be absolutely fantastic if this ever came to be. I think he would be wonderful in just about any position. After getting to know him, I would love to see more of him in Washington. This would likely be, IMO, an education based position. This I guess from various discussions I've seen with Trump. Second would be health, of course. But Trump said he was impressed with Carson's education knowledge, and what he would love to see/do going forward.

Dr. Ben Carson revealed on Newsmax TV Monday that he will work in Donald Trump's administration — at least in an "advisory capacity" — if the Republican presidential front-runner is elected to the White House.

But Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon who recently endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race of the GOP nomination, declined to say exactly in what capacity he will serve or whether it's a cabinet position.

"I do believe, and certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful. He will surround himself with very good people," Carson told "The Steve Malzberg Show."

Asked whether he will be one of those people, Carson responded:

"I will be doing things as well … Certainly in an advisory capacity [in Trump's administration]."

Carson said Trump's decision to bring him into the presidential fold came after he sat down with the billionaire developer to talk about the future.

As to whether his expertise in medicine or education will be tapped, Carson was mum.

"We haven't handled out all the details but it is very important that we work together in this country," he said. "Again, I'm not going to reveal any details about it right now because all of this is still very liquid."

Surgeon General.

I thought along all the health lines too, but the talk I've seen from Trump, and Carson added in - it sure seemed like they were both aiming at education. This was from the debate, and this doesn't even include what I saw, which I'll have to search for.

"We spoke for over an hour on education, and he has such a great handle on it," Trump continued. "He wants competitive schools. He wants a lot of different things that are terrific, including charter schools... I am going to have Ben very much involved in education, something which really is an expertise of his."

He wrote his book for young people. About education and how it can turn one's life around. The book is profoundly inspirational.
