"The best part of my career is knowing that I am shaping public policy issues and laws that will probably impact my children and my children's children. It's also a very interesting, fast-paced job that allows me to learn about a diverse range of issues that interest me. Some of the downsides of my career include the long hours and the stressful work environment. It also lacks some dependability -- if our firm doesn't get any campaigns for an extended period, my job could be in jeopardy."

"Read newspapers, magazines or blogs every day to know what's happening where you live and around the world. Refine your writing skills. The ability to write well is critical in this industry. In addition to English classes, a journalism class or two will help you write in a concise, informative way. Consider interning for a political leader, political organization or public policy think tank. This experience is a great way to meet people and get your foot in the door. It will also look great on your resume."
