    Most fresh grads just want to make enough of a living wage to one day afford a house. Morals can be fucking expensive.

    In 2016 I started an entry level job in cybersecurity for a small Family-owned defense contractor making $55k. 7 years later in 2023 I’m working at one of the Big 4 defense contractors and I’m making $173K.

    My degree is in criminal justice from a State School.

    As long as you have a 4 year degree, can obtain Secret clearance, and can get CompTIA Security+ any defense contractor on the East or West Coast will take you.

    Yes, I am a cog in the military-industrial complex which makes me part of the problem and not the solution, but I live comfortably and my family is happy, so I’ll sacrifice my morals for them.

      For the last time, a picture of yourself riding a missile naked is not a job application. We are also seriously concerned about how you were able to obtain a missile in the first place.
