Hmm, that's interesting. I guess the environment issue isn't black and white.

I guess what bothers me about all the people aiming for their government jobs is the fact that they're content doing menial maintenance of legacy systems in COBOL or whatever the hell they're written in. I know there's probably some brilliant kids in the program, and it seems like they're all convinced that it's the best/only path available to them, and they're fine with that.
