Those who are looking for a meaningful task in political, social or ecological contexts and are not afraid of administrative activities can find what they are looking for in the civil service. This not only makes career planning easier, there is also a high degree of job security - right up to civil servant status.
It is difficult to make general statements about professional backgrounds and fields of activity in public authorities. Basically, however, a distinction can be made between administratively oriented and research-oriented authorities. Accordingly, the professional backgrounds and doctorates are weighted very differently.
