[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the replies. The problem is, I don't have experience in any substantive public policy area. I am in a very niche-y area of corporate law and it just doesn't translate well to most government agencies. But I'd like to change my practice area anyway. I know the pay sucks compared to the private sector and government, but I can't shake the feeling that I'd really love doing the work. I love research and writing - should have gone into academia, but I got scared off by the commitment. Would it be a waste to go back to school for a MPP (or I've also been reading about masters in applied economics), when I already have a JD? I feel it would not, because the skill sets are definitely different, but I have no idea how that would be perceived in the real world. Also, are there professional organizations for policy researchers where I could get more info, maybe do some networking or informational interviewing?[/quote]
