The current #elections environment in #WestBengal, #Kerala, #Puducherry, the #NorthEast and #TamilNadu have yet again shown us that the biggest of elections in India are won majorly on mass propaganda, emotional connect and media influence. While millions of voters cast their votes in hopes of having their voices heard and their needs met by their political parties, the political framework of our country and our leaders are still largely self-grown or they have stepped into politics due to a family legacy.
Huge Demand for Professionals & High Salaries Offered
With no academic training, which is a must while governing the country or occupying high positions of power, there is a massive gap that is dictating our current #politicalsystem. The wide political framework in #India is moving rapidly towards #modernization and there is a huge #demand for qualified professionals with different expertise (including social media, brand management, content writing, policy research, legislative & parliamentary affairs to name a few) in this domain.
The career opportunities that exist are vast and are not just related to hard-core politics such as, becoming a political leader but also invite professionals with different expertise to be a part of the domain. The #salaries typically offered in this domain are higher when compared to other domains as the sector is very cash-rich and there is a huge demand for qualified professionals in this sector.
