While reading the NRC final report on Ada, I came across the
following paragraph:

"...software engineers who have expertise in defense-oriented
applications are likely to be in greater demand in that sector
than in the commercial marketplace, where their domain-specific
skills would be less applicable. Likewise, employers in the DOD
sector are highly motivated to keep experienced engineers because
of the expense of obtaining a security clearance for a person
entering from the commercial market. These dynamics contribute
to the separation of the military and commercial markets for
software engineers..."

Has anyone seen this trend? My own experience is that
software engineers have few problems moving between the
commercial and military markets.
