I have been up and down the masonic pyramid and studied dogma and philosophy of many religions. I have even read morals and dogma cover to cover a couple of times to try to make sence of this reality.

Be careful of black-budget and defense type jobs.
Normal jobs have unions, government rules and guilds which protect worker rights and freedoms.
Classified jobs, however, are hidden from view, so they tend to devolve into mini-fiefdoms, over-zealously micro-managed by embedded staff who have risen to the point where their incompetence prevents further promotion (the "Peter Principle") and which cannot be escaped without the risk of 'blowing security'.
As such, workers are often mistreated, untrusted, uninformed and underpaid.
Just try and stay out of my way. Just try! I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!
