What these tech giants may find, it is very difficult to find someone with clearance and necessary skill set. Many current government contractors will hire someone with the clearance and provide the training for the skills.
My best friend of 20 years has worked at the NSA since his co-op days in college. And here's what I have gleaned from him.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I know that he writes code, travels the world, and can point out satelites in orbit. Kind of makes you wonder. I do know that if you live in Maryland, you most likely know at least 5 people who work for the NSA in some way. As Maryland's largest employer, 20,000 people (give or take 3), it's hard not to bump into them.

I'm convinced that the patent for my method of opening a door and walking through will be completed any day now. Then you'll all owe me big!
