Some skills are limited by what career can get them.
Depending on the law level of your players' current world, this could mean trouble. Know how to get a balky cardkey reader to work, or give you something for free? You may be considered a thief or a rogue psion. Sitting in the bar, talking about firearms on a world where the company forbids them? Might be seeing detention or worse.
Works the other way too. How did this milquetoast bureaucrat patron casually hand you a live detonator? Bureaucrats do not usually gain Demolitions skill. Specialized documents or cardkeys immediately available? Perhaps the patron is a skilled forger and prepared them himself months in advance.
Some of you old timers might remember the 'IS THERE A DOCTOR ON THE LIFEBOAT' JTAS article. This is a bit of data manipulation and analysis in that vein.
I admit this is the kind of thing that makes Classic TRAVELLER such a joy, even after 40 plus years. It is a lot harder to do data manipulation like this in more modern, and therefore complex, systems.
Some skills have an * in front. This indicates a special condition needs to be met, by career type, rank or education.
