I'm assuming plenty of other foreign nationals work for the British Government. You would simply become another one, but working for the ENGLISH government. Or you could come back and help our nation rise like a pheonix from the ashes! [/alex salmond]
Upon independence not much would change in the practicalities - we wouldn't need passports between England and Scotland, working arangements would probably stay the same.
