I'd be happy to be corrected by someone else who knows better though.

When i was working in a bank as a office boy before i started uni, i came across a few guys in my office known as policy analyst.
They spend most of their time in office reading newspaper, generating weekly briefs for the team. In school i felt really fun to analyse governmental policies and their exact impacts. I envisioned doing this kind of job.
That's why i signed up for political science.. But yea, after being in the course for a while it became clear that most of us are going to land in government job. (Good news for some, bad news for me. I hated thick bureaucracy)
I'm really curious if skills are transferable. Will appreciate if there's more input.
