[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the job/position. Are you interested solely in lobbying jobs at an association or in government/public relations jobs?[/quote]

[b]My skills are technical[/b] and portable throughout industries and I have seen a few interesting positions at 1 or more of the previously listed groups.[/quote]

I am guessing "technical" refers to either economics/econometrics or "information technology-related" applications.

For the associations that you listed, some of them have heavier "number-crunching" operations than others, so an economics background would be in greater demand (and thus possibly better rewarded) at a place such as an insurance association, or a place like AARP, as compared to (some forms of an) education association.  For IT, it will vary widely and will be dependent upon how much of the IT function has been outsourced vs. kept in-house.

I work in a trade association in a data-centric position and my colleagues in similar positions have been here for 15 - 20+ years.  But I know others in trade associations where long-timers are those with 4 years at the association.[/quote]
