Holy shit, who the hell goes though all this shit? Just get another job lmfao. Private sector probably pays more than this. (Also you wouldn’t have to worry about government shutdowns)

    I have a friend who used to work for a big time tech company with lots of defense department contacts, one of the sorts of companies where if he talked about his company helping the government read peoples emails and track you online and such, you couldn’t really be sure if he was joking or not.

    He no longer works for that company, and I’m pretty sure he wasn’t joking by the way.

    I’ve been fortunate to know a lot of really smart people in my life, and I like to think I’m not an idiot myself, but this guy is hands down the smartest person I’ve ever met and it’s not even close, he is scary smart.

    And he made insanely good money while he worked for them, and the kind of shit they did on the company (and by extension, the taxpayers’ dime,) was insane, they were regularly flying out to Vegas and putting it all on the company credit card.

    So yeah for a talented person, there is really damn good money to be made if you can get security clearance.
