Would you consider ENTERING POLITICS AS A CAREER?

Yes, I would like to play "house boy" to Hillary Clinton.

No.\n\nWhen a politician makes a promise they might at that time honestly want to fulfill that promise, but when in office, find that they have to renege because of certain circumstances they were not aware of.\n\nThis is what elections are for.

Well, since you are evidently a career criminal, why not?  Think bigger, though--run as a Republican for public office.

Volunteer for a political party while you search out the best and most affordable option. Learning on the "job" is the best way to improve your education while building a resume and developing useful contacts for future opportunities.\n\nIf you have true passion and drive for politics when volunteering you may find yourself being offered a paying position before you attend a single class. And that can influence your pool of options. Also there are many leadership training programs related to specific partisian agendas. Embedding yourself within a party will gain you insight into which ones offer the type of intense focus for the least amount of cash. Read everything. Reading is still the best cheap/free education in the world. Good luck!

I think they'd scratch their heads and wonder how so much greed and self-service entered into our government.  They'd wonder how how politicians went from being servants to career politicians.

Get involved in local politics be working for a candidtate or issue that interests you.  Get involved with your Political Party on the local level.  Meet as many people as you can and be there and work hard.  You can file and run for office and with a little name recognition you will be surprised how many votes you get.  Do not just run for any open office that comes up as you do not want to get the name as someone who is a loser, but run often enough to gain more name recognition.  This is a good way to become known and possibly get a staff position with someone on the State or Federal level.\n\nEducation in Political Science or Law help when you want to go for a higher office or staff position.  Just get your name out there as a worker and you can go a long way.

Sure, coz that way you'd be generating more employment and serving your country. Of course there are risks involved.

I think that if it's something that you are interested in doing then go for it. It sounds like it would be a pretty good job especially if it's something you like. Good luck with your future.

Join your local political party of choice, volunteer for a good few years, door knocking, talking to people, campaigning, getting known in your community. Then, ideally volunteer in an MP's office to see if you will like the job. Then work your way up, get some elected positions under your belt at local level...maybe become a local councillor. Attend lots of local-level party meetings and try and change things from the inside. Then eventually stand for a reasonably safe seat in your (ideally local) constituency, and hope for the best. Et viola!

well...I have a bachelor's in political science, and work in a hospital pharmacy if that tells you anything....If you want a job in politics, you have to go to grad school if you want to do anything substantial or make good money.  I am in law school right now...the want ads I see the most in the paper are all for accounting....if you can do that without dying of boredom....maybe that would be a good future for you?

Political Science....PolySci.  It would be a major to afford avenues into many meaningful professions.  Law, news, politics and many more.

Get into college and get a degree in poli-sci.

I think joining the FBI would squash your dream of becoming a politician.  People would look at you as a former federal agent, and they would distrust you both as a bureaucrat and as a sort of "big brother" part of the government.

No not really, because it would make a good transition as far as the career goes. I thought about it too but i decided not to do the corrections part. but i still have a few years before i can be a cop. it's your choice, but it is a good transition. you get to see both aspects of the law.

I'm definitely not an expert by any means, but off the top of my head, you could probably work at a think tank or advocacy group, or in a political organization, either as a staffer, officeholder, or advisor.\n\nPepperdine is really nice, by the way.  A little too religiously oriented for my taste, but it's gorgeous.
