Im not sure if it is something I would enjoy or not. Has anyone here worked in politics ? Is it exciting/worth it?
 
If you think you could manage to be significantly more miserable than the degree to which you already are, you have a shot.

You will enter a system that is catastrophically broken that you cannot fix. If you can accept that without being frustrated, go for it.
 
My step-kids' step-mom is a California Assemblywoman (District 10).

Not to sure about dirty politics in a big city. In my town, we once had a person running for Mayor on the platform that he will not change a thing. He won. In smaller town, when things are going well, not changing anything can get one elected.

Sarge,
Good luck to you if you decide to run for office. :smile:

Sounds like a typical Civil Service job. I was there once. If the people I used to work with were working for me, they wouldn't be working for me.
