Your thoughts?
Congrats on your degree.

You will need to find a way to support yourself while you get involved in local politics. If you are going to try to run for elected office, you will have to do a LOT of volunteer work for your party. Before you even get your party's support for school board or city council, you will have to work a lot of hours doing menial work for people you don't know.

Without rich parents, you will have to "get your name out there" the hard way (and the tedious way). Of course, if you have the interest and the motivation, in time you may achieve what you want.

Good luck.
