I did think about working for a government department (non-partisan), but I decided against it. From my understanding, you can’t be working for ‘the crown’ and running for office, you’d have to take time off or quit.
The space agency was my thinking along those lines, as I don’t think that counts as working for the crown.
I hadn’t thought about the UK Civil Service. I’ve never looked in to it. I don’t think that would affect me too much, as long as I’m not a dual citizen.
I haven’t completely ruled out earning to give. I worked in the energy industry for 18 months before my PhD earning to give, but felt a pretty low personal fit for it. If I found a job that I was also intrinsically passionate about, I would consider it, but not otherwise.
Ah I hadn’t thought about the for-profit plant-based food tech side of things, thanks, I’ll think about that.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
