Shaming people for their job is such a shitty thing to do. I heard the same thing in college for having a job lined up with a major defense contractor. My circumstances were such that living with parents or someone else wasn't an option - it was very important for me to have a job. I am grateful for that opportunity - the people I worked with were all great people. You can be an ideological fool but not everyone has that luxury.

I stayed job hunting a lot longer, working my part time job to pay rent and taking minimum classes to keep the student loans at bay.

Everyone with a higher demand degree can choose to work ethically. Well, maybe not ethically, but at least not evilly.

Working for and allowing people to kill other people is also a pretty shitty thing to do.
