Achieving high office in politics can be a rocky road. But once you've made it, you usually earn good money. There is no specific training for this profession, although a degree in political science can be beneficial.

Some people want real experts in such leading positions, while others find it more important that political staff act with integrity and responsibility or are passionate and committed to their work. A willingness to compromise, foresight and the ability to express oneself clearly and precisely can also be considered important for this profession.
