Hi. I am a corporate professional and am interested in joining politics. I do not have any political background and would like to have a future career in politics. Q- Can you advise how do I join politics and make it as a career? I have joined a well-known political party as a volunteer but I am not able to provide time as most of their requirement is during weekdays/day time which becomes difficult as I cannot take official leave every now and then. I usually notice that most of the full time volunteers are occupying key positions in the party but they are usually businessmen, entrepreneurs, rich background individuals, who can devote time everyday join politics. Q- In this scenario how do I develop my career in politics?

Ans: Hello (whatever your name is...). You should start by introducing your self. At least your name...

You require long term commitment to succeed in any field including politics. Start with a small project which you can do well on weekends or whenever you have time. Do a course on political science one that will equip you with the required knowledge as well...Do quality work and deliver results in every project you take up including volunteer work. That way slowly you will get higher positions too.. Prayers and best wishes

Ans: I fully empathize with your situation. Do focus on the positive of having completed BTech in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering is the foundational engineering discipline and lends itself to use of new tools and technologies through use of of software to build structures using design elements that use newer materials to build infrastructure, homes, industrial townships that further sustainability. Use your current Tech Asstt job to learn about Oceanography as an added skills. Look at acquiring project management skills and explore opportunities with optimism and passion.
