Or have a security clearance? The majority of the defense forces still use Ada extensively, so it can be quite easy to get a job with a government defense department if you know Ada. A working knowledge of both Ada and C++ (and maybe Java to some extent) is a great start. Having a knowledge of just one language though isn't all that good (and yes, even C++ - because there are just too many young people out there learning C++, so it's a "dime a dozen" field). Even if I had to learn just one language, I'd choose Ada over C anyday, because it's a great language to learn the correct techniques of good programming. - Gareth (4th year Engineering student)
