      i'm in the same boat, but i'm also studying (actually finished a degree) in earth sciences and geography so hopefully i can end up doing something better. I know someone that literally went to work for raytheon and others for banks and shit and damn no way could i do that

      My real goal is roblox, which surprisingly pays better than FAANG. by like a lot . Other STEM fields are a lot more bleak. Aerospace basically guarantees you're building missiles. MechE means some defense company (luckily my dad is mechE and didn't end up that path). It sucks that the money is in defense companies

          Not that surprising then the US spends as much as it does on its military

          That's a good point

          Also the whole Roblox thing, wtf???? Interns make close to $60/hr

            edit: I got confused and replied to something in the wrong thread. I do still stand by the above statement though

                    oh wait shit I thought this was in response to a different comment I posted, serves me right for confidently replying out of the inbox

                    if you click on a job (like this one) they have a Voluntary Self Identification of Disabilities form that says

                    We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

      Same boat, even if it's a little limiting there's so much value in not hating yourself for building evil things or building neutral things for companies who are going to use it for evil.

      I got a cold recruiting email from palantir once :agony: so at least I know my opsec is okay
