Various careers in politics

Are you a political junkie? Are you interested in politics, but don’t have the slightest interest in becoming a politician? As election cycles get longer and longer, opportunities abound for those interested in a career in the political arena. You may work a lot of hours and it can be stressful, especially at election time, but a political job can give you a wealth of experience you will be able to use in the future.

Before you starting thinking about a job in politics, consider your values and ethics. Could you work for a candidate or politician you don’t believe in? That would be hard, and most people who work in politics work on issues and for people they support. If you have a candidate you’d love to see elected or a hot button issue you’re concerned about, you can apply directly to like-minded campaigns or organizations.
