I haven't done too bad. In the past 11 years I've done NASA work, and
COMSEC (Communications Security) and Naval engine controllers, and
simulators. As long as the software that controls the motion-base and
joystick are working properly, its damn tough to kill someone with a
simulator. :-)

In my career I've only had to turn down one job (working on bombs) due
in part to moral qualms. Its tough to rationalize that one away.
