What about those coming out of the Armed forces?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If you come out of the armed services with any kind of decent security clearance, you get get a 70K per year job minimum without any special training. The companies will train you because it's cheaper than paying for a security clearance for a new hire.

I'd recommend any young person to enlist and specialize in communications, languages, security, etc. and aim for a secret clearance at minimum. Keep your nose clean, and when you get out you can write your own ticket. All the three-letter agencies will compete for your services, not to mention a plethora of head hunters.
