Capt. Picklepants writes "I have been feeling malaise about the IT and technical job market in the United States. I'm interested in doing some IT work for our government in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Africa. I've heard it pays very well.

    Work for the US Military and assist in baby killing?

    I hear the Mexican drug cartels need good IT support, too. Since morality seems not to be a consideration, I think they pay better.
