I am a qualified chartered accountant and therefore maintaining an up-dated political knowledge is important for my profession, given the importance of tax and regulation in my profession.
In a previous role I was a political researcher at the Scottish parliament, researching policy across a number of areas including the economy, housing, and transport. I have also worked at a Scottish university as a lecturer, with politics part of the course in order for students to understand its importance in every day life.
