My step son’s first job out of grad school for computer science was Raytheon. Paid well, got him his clearance (which basically guarantees employment as long as you have a pulse). I could tell it bothered him (as in, what they do), but he was very much trying to be a grown-up and pay his student loans and rent and all that. He’s 22, and very independent.
As soon as he got his clearance, he got another job doing things that aren’t directly related to killing people. Got a nice raise, too. He said the feeling of not working for Raytheon is better than the $10k sign-on bonus they gave him that he now has to pay back. “Worth it.”
