Yes, it does make you part of the problem. As for whether anyone in the IT industry gets paid overtime - I am a software engineer working for a DOD subcontrator and I get time and a half for all hours over 40 during a single calander week. We have to stand up for appropriate compensation for our labor!
Getting a security clearance can be one of the most valuable things you can do for your career, especially if you get a Top Secret clearance. Salaries are 10%-50% higher and and the number of candidates for the jobs is far lower. Also there is absolutely no fear of being outsourced!
