I recently just switched to public policy from finance. I'm managing a state rep. campaign for a republican candidate. Try and get involved with you county government and work your way up. Since working as a campaign manager I have met many reps and senators from the state and our primary isn't even over. The only way to move up is to network within a party, because inevitably if you decide to run for some type of office you will need their support and if they know you and how you are as a person they may even ask you to run.

Thank you. Did you find it hard to get that position? Also, do you plan on graduate school?

>>1381048
not president? then what are you aiming for?

>>1381280
Well I mean, I'll have to start off from a lower level. If I have the money and the right people to contact, then sure, I'd love to run for president. But right now, I need to work on how to get started

international law, everything else is shit.

Not even political science?

Law seems like shit right now. I'd rather not go into debt and be chained to a desk while I wish I never did Law.

>Implying students with polisci end up as politicians.

It's law and economics/finance

Personal viewpoints?

Isn't law school the worst investment currently? I don't even know what the hell I'd be doing with an Economics degree that can give me a solid political reputation.

>>1382417
Far right, I strongly believe in Economical values

A Guy I used to know became the party representative for my area and he didn't even go uni, he was the manager of a small supermarket. Just get involved with the party and the community, become passionate about it and learn as much as you can, and "network" with other people who work in the party, at events and rally's ect

If you dont come from a family of wealth and/or social capital your chances are generally slim

Try /r9k/

A lot of politicians do not come from such backgrounds
