How to Start a Career in Politics

When it comes to starting a career in politics it's not what you know as much as who you know.

However since most of us are neither members of the Kennedy clan or the Bush dynasty, it's not like we can just make a phone call to get a start in the profession. Instead, getting started on a political career involves making connections by working your way up from the bottom.

There are a few ways to do that, and where you live does impact your opportunities. Whichever path you choose though it's all about hustle, putting yourself out there, and being willing to shake a lot of hands while having many doors slammed in your face.
