Me @27 IT is boring and the wages suck, I lack human empathy so I'll try Defense Contracting
Me @36 Well the money is great, but the risk of Engineers spilling national security secrets every day is stressful AF.
It’s easy, just pre-emptively fire any engineers who play world of tanks or war thunder.
I actually have a multiple choice question on my General User training that goes something like:
If someone attempts to elicit classified information from you, and a heated argument erupts, what action should you take?
A) Inform Company Security of the event
B) Provide a non-answer and defer or distract from the current line of questioning
C) Prove them wrong by giving them the classified information
D) A & B
So far no one has chosen C, thankfully.
You need "if you play a computer game and find they have technical details of a weapon system incorrect, what action should you take"
If it’s to your benefit, say nothing. But if it nerfs something you use then you have a duty to fix their mistake! Those national defence people will understand.
