<p>I’m sure most college students don’t run for office immediately after college (I’m sure you know this). That usually requires building a reputation in public service and community building, but if you start doing those things in college and make connections with the right faculty members such as Stein who looks out for great writers and then tries to fix them up with professional organizations such as magazines or Newspapers who may need someone to write on political issues. This is where many folks start. Many public office people were good writers in certain capacities as a significant amount were lawyers. Of course many of our most well-known politicians wrote for or headed the law review at their institution.By working for things such as the Carter Center or other organizations, and making a mark, you will of course make connections. I just recommend not really having this specific thing in mind when engaged in such activities. I would just look out for general networking opps.</p>
