You have to be extremely well-connected politically. This holds true for both parties.

Depends on what job you want. If it’s anything high profile and you’re not already working for a campaign, don’t hold your breath. When Obama won in 2008 he put people in appointed positions at some of the lowest/staff levels I’ve ever seen because he owed so many favors to people on his campaign, whereas Trump had to beg borrow and steal (and still does) to get people to apply.

Thank you, all! Seems like the 'next step' is to donate and become involved.

I’m an Environmental Protection Specialist and make pretty good money for what I do. I just feel like I have more to offer than being a worker bee in a system at 25. I work with a lot of retirees and would love to return in my latter professional years. I have my Bachelors in Applied Coastal Environmental Science and want to expand my options. Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.
