I can pass just fine there, too. We're not deeply in debt.

As for "selling your soul", I would say that's pretty much every job in America these days, not just defense.

The other big drawback to defense work - you get cast as a defense worker.

The last Bush economic rapine - DoD work went out the window in the late 80s -
taught me that. No one would touch me for a year or so. "You're a defense
worker." Don't know why this is true...

See the movie "Falling Down" :)

New Saw It, Related To It
I was working at SABRE at the time, there were days I certainly felt like Michael Douglas.

It appears I'll be staying in the "pharmacy track". I got a call from the director of the company I interviewed with ( 2 "in person" interviews, 2 phone ), and they are pleased to present me with an offer.

I won't call back tonight, got the VM at about 8pm. But, if they're true to form, it will be a 10% pay cut (on top of the 10% pay cut I just took), on top of the 10% I took in 2001. So, if the offer holds true, I'll be down 30% from what I made in 2001 before being laid off. I guess I should be thankful?

Medical software of any kind is where it's at for stability. Good move.

And in some way, you might be helping someone. When I was a DoD worker, I sometimes could not drink off my mind the shit I was doing for money.
