There's an article in today's Washington Post about how Raytheon needs 300 more people to work on highly-technnical classified stuff, and they're having a terrible time at it.
I remember when I was in college looking at plenty of job postings from ITT, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, and Lockheed that all required a security clearance and a bachelor's degree in Information Technology or Computer Science/Engineering. I never got a security clearance when I was in the military. That was probably the worst thing I could have skipped.
I once thought about joining the reserves and getting a job that required a top secret clearance (so the government would pay for it) but I didn't necessarily want to go to Iraq to get one.
It might happen someday. I kinda want to do network engineering for the CIA or NSA, just to make me feel cool.
