More Markie Bull****, the only thing you were working as in the
government was a janitor!


janitors at the NSA have clearance.

they probably get paid well.


Of all the techie things I could relate to, here's something I never thought
would come up: I WAS a janitor at NSA. I was stationed there 1970-1972 as a
Sailor and during my last 8 months, I worked as a janitor after hours to
make enough money for the down payment on my first house. All the janitors
needed to be cleared, which made us military folks shoo-ins for these jobs.

The pay was OK for your average part time job. Nothing special, but I was
happy for the $1800 I banked in less than a year. (5% of 33,000 used to get
a family into a house. Not today.)

My first wife still has that house and it's worth $700,000.
