Politics Government

Never had an interest in this, but I thought I would contribute to it based on experience dealing with some of them - politicians.

1. You need a good grounding in English or your native language so that you can handle yourself in public with greatness, of course public speaking is an asset.

2. You need to know people, you can only establish yourself by placing yourself in certain 'circles' to meet influential people.

3. Sound education, especially a general grounding in world affairs, although it does depend on what asspect of politics you plan to pursue since there are jobs behind the scenes and ones at the front end.

4. You must be a people's person. You do not necessarily have to be comely, but you must be charasmatic!

Salaries for such jobs are enormous in any position, but what you mostly gain is 'favors', but that is another thread
