Is Politics a Job?

No, Nowadays politics is a business.

I personally think so it is a job and it has its pros and cons. scamming being the biggest cons among it.

Yet, they claim to work on the interest of the masses.

Politics is arguably a profession.
A politician should be able to think and act strategically, both domestically and internationally.  This demands the capability to understand social, economic, and political systems and their inter-relationships.
A politician must know how to use power to assemble governing coalitions. Promises to “work across the aisle” are useless without the ability to listen, compromise, devise political strategy, and marshal support.A politician should be able to lead a complex bureaucracy.This requires understanding how large organizations work, what leads to failure, and how to select those leaders who will do the daily work of running government.There are great jobs in politics;1.Legislative Aide: One may focus on one topic area like gun control.                                             2.Political analyst: Policy analysts work to identify, create, and implement policies and programs. 3.Pollster: These are the people who measure the effectiveness of a campaign and what voters think about candidates and issues.                                             4.Campaign manager: Campaign managers organize and oversee all the details involved in managing a successful campaign. 5.Media strategist: Media strategists are responsible for planning, implementing, and presenting in-person, print, television, radio, online, and social media campaigns to promote the candidate.

I don't think politics is a job because the money taken by the politicians maybe stolen from the citizens.
