I've considered it since I was in my first year(s) of high school. The press scrutiny would be a bear but nowhere near as bad as the fundraising.
I'm sure I will get into some local stuff in the coming year or two and would like to go on to statewide or national level politics. I do not see it as a route to better private sector jobs. It can obviously be used in that way but I've got a pretty good career already in the private sector and public service jobs will almost certainly mean less money, longer hours, and far more frustration. The positives are having more of a hand in the direction of my town, state, country, etc and fighting for the good of many and helping to make peoples' lives better.
