California politicians might find better success in jobs matching their real-world skills beyond elected office. Many current openings highlight roles they’re already practicing—just without the accountability of voters.
seems perfect. They’re experts at whispering in ears and cutting backroom deals. Openings for “strategic lobbying efforts” and “coalition building” pay well . Their knack for pushing agendas over actual problem-solving fits right in.
could work too. Organizing rallies and fundraisers is basically event coordination. Companies need planners to host “private dinners with government partners” to “strengthen relationships”—something politicians do daily .
might be a stretch, but some listings ask for “collaboration with regulatory officials” . Given California’s endless red tape, politicians have mastered creating rules, even if they can’t follow them.
roles fit politicians’ spin skills. Jobs like “environmental outreach manager” require “building community relationships” while avoiding real solutions . That’s familiar territory for those who prioritize image over results.
for failed policies? With California’s rising costs and homeless camps, politicians could consult on how not to run a state. Their experience creating chaos would be a cautionary lesson for others.
These jobs leverage politicians’ core talents: talking, not doing. As California struggles, maybe it’s time for them to step aside and let real leaders clean up the mess.
