Communications

Over this past weekend while hanging out with various classmates I was simply baffled on how at midnight on a Saturday night he was having a blackberry conversation with his boss. I'm like you have got to be kidding. He's like no it seems that now I never ever stop working. For my friend this is a bad thing, but for political campaigns this is a great thing. That means that there is little turnaround time. So a Congressional member or Candidate can make their views known or even respond to a comment within minutes of breaking news. There is also no way that this trend is going to slow down in fact it seems to becoming common place. So politically the best job for all us who are job hunting seems to be communications. It seems to be the most valued skill that employers are looking for, at least political employers that is. The use of the Internet is only going to enhance this capability by centralizing a communication center or port for campaigns or congressional members by deeming their websites as their main point of communications.

I agree that this trend isn't slowing down. If you think about it, we live in a technological age that allows us to communicate 24/7. I do this not only with work, but in my personal life through emails, text messages and cell phone. To be able to compete in a global economy, understanding how to keep in constant communication with other people is an invaluable skill.
