Default Policy work

oh you don't make new policy everyday. It's mostly regulatory work, and making tweaks to existing policies. You response to feedback/complains from the public as well.

Policy work involves intensive research which means scrubbing your papers/submissions through your bosses. A paper can be revised umpteen times before it can see the light of day. So you do need to enjoy writing (and re-writing). A flair for writing helps tremendously because policy work is usually very fast paced an long hours. It is likely that you work on several submissions a day. The work hours are usually long too. I work till 8 - 9 pm almost every other day.

PS: the time you get off work, depends on how fast you write, how well you write, and most importantly how fast your boss(es) approve your papers/submissions; but don't let this daunt you, if you enjoy writing/researching, you will still be happily farming in the office (unless you are a scholar).
