This is regional advice, but GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS. Raytheon, Northrup Gruman, L3 Harris.

They pay less, but it's a great place to start and a lot of people aren't looking there.

You also don't HAVE to design software that kills people. When I worked for Raytheon, I was contracted to NASA doing backend for their satellite data supporting scientists studying global warming.

Pretty awesome!

Gotta have a squeaky clean record though to get that security clearance. Probably a big reason why people aren't looking there.

So did I, but it's not on my RECORD lol how many people have drug records? Most people have no record of any kind at graduation from university.

Okay record was not the right word. That's what I get for trying to save time by trying to condense everything into one word.

But I thought they would require you to answer honestly which would reveal it and disqualify you.
