why lockheed

I feel like that would be a good place. I want to do contract work with the DoD but I don't want to work FOR the DoD

fair enough

Lockheed does a lot of contracts with them so it would be a good start at least

afaik they are hiring new people right now

so not the worst ever

yeah I've got a buddy that knows some people there, but they are more on the aviation research side and not the tech end

so I am not sure how much help they would be

>shrug

can't hurt to try though lol

quite

it's either that or I try to find a job working at a network traffic monitoring center

talk about boring though

eh yeah

there is always going to be boredom though to some degree

oh I know

I just don't want it to be soul sucking

if you get more experienced like my dad you can dictate terms a lot more but until then

I did some work for a real estate appraisal software company recently and I wanted to die

absolutely no purpose to the work I was doing and it was never complete

no tasks had end goals

they were just open ends to more work

didn't help that they moved me throughout 3 departments in 2 months

so I never had a chance to see any of those projects advance

i mean bear in mind

the military is choking horribly on new technology

the corporate world isnt actually good

its just less worse off

that's where I was

and I hated it

lol

I want the work I'm doing to actually have a purpose

I made that decision when I worked as a car salesman

you wanna talk about soul sucking

go do that

ive seen those guys from the outside

it didnt seem like my thing

it's a horrible career

some people are good at it

but the bullshit dude

omg
