pursue your passion. Politics is super easy to get into, it may be hard at first but consistency is key. Join an organization that you like and volunteer. You need to subscribe yourself too them. Start talking with higher ups and build connections. Eventually you may get a paid position within a few months and SPECIALIZE yourself in that position. Prove your qualifications and get your work done. Then, expand yourself and your discussions and find more connections. My friends brother know works for JFK’s grandson at Vogue because of this exact method and he’s still in university. It’s never too late and politics is nice and great to get into, especially if you like it. Best of luck!
Perhaps I missed this but getting involved with Grass root Organizations are a super easy way to build yourself up in the political chain. Its great because you’re helping out an organization that means something to you while also building your profession.
@@Blazeylikesf1 good. Study hard. Get good grades. Learn to be a great debater and public speaker. Go to college. That will keep you busy for the next 8 years.
I’m 15 and I have the same goals! Right now I’m getting into Clubs like Speech & Debate and Model UN to help me with my debating skills and public speaking.
@@chrisarzu5196 Political candidates have been slow to adapt to that reality. 15% of voters read newspapers. Cable news viewership is in a free fall. If you are running for office you have to meet people where they are. J
I am so distraught. I just want to be an intern, or to get an entry level job working in Politics, and I *CAN’T GET IT*! Even after gritting my teeth and holding a 9-5 for years for “experience” isn’t improving my chances! I’m getting rejected constantly, because I don’t have the “relevant experience” that’s only offered in internships reserved for enrolled students or recent College Grads! I don’t want to be Joe Biden or Donald Trump - I just want to do something like monitor DC Politics for some Special Interest Group. Why is that so hard…
Not necessary. Study what you love. Voters don't care about your major. While in college, supplement your education by getting involved with student organizations, sharpening your leadership skills and learning to give a great speech. Jay
@@jaytownsend22Excellent advice, that is what I was going to say. My add-on is if you’re looking to become a political analyst, then do political science, but there’s so much more to politics than just being an analyst. Organizations in high school and college is super great an important. You basically do however much work you want to do while building your own connections and helping out a movement you’re passionate about.
I’m 43 taking up Cyber Security major at Penn State. Before this presidential election, I’ve been following politics heavy for about four years and thinking about switching my major to political science. Very confused. SMH
Stay with your major, and make it apply to the work you want to do. Cybersecurity is getting big in politics. Find or Make an advocacy group/organization and expand with that.
So, getting into politics isn't quite like a 9-5 job. Huh, I mean right now I'm just floundering to find a job and I figure I may as well pick a few fights and try to get my cohorts a bit of representation.
@@TheGmodkilla like all worthy things in life, acquiring the power to make a difference in public life require work and effort. Same is true of a successful marriage and getting a kid thru college.
Good day sir, I am 19 yrs, currently in med school and should be inducted in the next 3 or 4 yrs... Could you please give me some words of advice.. I am in Nigeria
@@MaryErumiaghwo First and foremost, finish your education. It will be one of the most important investments you’ll ever make. In the meantime, closely follow politics in Nigeria. Read the papers every day, note the problems facing the country and figure out how you would use the levers of govt to fix them. Jay
1:37 No working-class person I know reads The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal. I went to a prestigious journalism school, and I can tell you right off the bat - this is the problem with politics in America. First off, you shouldn’t be going for a “career” in politics. Politics is public service. NOT a way to make a living. If every politician was paid $0 and wasn’t allowed to own stock, the world would be in a MUCH better place.
@@TylerMcConnell Some make a career of public service and contribute to the public good. The honest ones don’t get rich doing it. I recommend certain publications because they offer a variety of opinions and broad news coverage. if one cares to be well-informed, it’s better than reading posts on facebook.
Although I understand the sentiment of what you're saying, it's also not practical because that would mean you can't earn a living and it would only be reserved for the wealthy who can afford to work without pay. You should be able to make a living and career in politics. How are you supposed to put food on your own table otherwise?
@@mynameis567 true. If people in public service are not compensated, then only the Uber wealthy would be in public service. And no working class people could afford to do it.
There’s more to politics than just public service. Unfortunately, not everyone is served equally in america and that’s where advocacy groups come in. This is how most people are employed into politics. Also things like union organization is politics. You could be a lifelong electrician and then decide to get more involved with the union. That is still politics.
I'm not going to mention some important issue because probably they are known to everyone. War and Clueless are two words I want to address. I grew up during a time when Affirmative Action and Discrimination were big issues but there were at that time - and probably still are - Segregationists. The News Media was big on being anti-discrimination but I found that people wanted to prevent me from dating White girls because of the "philosophy" they wanted to push on me. If people are going to accuse me of being a "Segregationist" because I really want to marry a White girl then I'll take segregation over integration any day of the year. Black women rub me the wrong way almost always and I try hard to be decent to them. People will twist your words and ideas around until you can't recognize yourself. And I'd be careful of joining groups. Roman Catholics apparently run both Political Parties where I live and they want to keep it that way. But all of these words don't necessarily tell you anything. People came after me when I was younger and said they wanted me involved.... actually I was told they wanted me to think long and hard about running for President. That was about 20 years away (minimum) at that time and today we have a couple of experienced men who are over 70 and in office. What is most important is probably your own life and your own personal development. You have to be strong in this profession.
Very true. Strength and organization is key. Most people will fall into a clique and lead with whatever they lead. This kills diversity of thought in politics, always stay away with cliques even if they have a unique viewpoint. However never be too alone, you won’t build connections. Be strong, stay away from cliques, but don’t ride alone.
