Jobs in Cyber Security/What's up with Propoganda?

Hey Logan, Wendel, Pistol, Tek Syndicate community, and other awesome people!,

I have a friend who's been interested in cyber-security for years now and is currently a freshman (like myself) in college majoring in this field. I remember when we went for college interviews around a year ago the NSA was a good name in good standing with the American public and working there was considered honorable and as a service to the country in much the same way as the military. However, lately, with leaks and uncovered information, the NSA has become even more controversial than American armed forces. I know that not the entire NSA can be corrupt or against the interest of Americans. Are there jobs within/without the NSA my friend should look into (the NSA often snatches students out of his program before they finish their 4 years).


Ps. Small side note, as I was writing this I asked my roommate to borrow his microfiber cloth to wipe my glasses and computer screen. He insisted that it would damage the cloth and his macbook because it would only work on mac screens. How does this make any sense? Have I lost my sanity? What is this propaganda?

Sincerely and with mad respect,

John Morone

umm theres always the private sector, they always need security. To be fair a job is a job, i wouldnt worry about the image of the NSA, if they pay you, they pay you and then theres the argument of if you want to change a system its easier to do it from the inside than just shout at it from outside.

Its your call but i really wouldnt let public opinion dictate how you live your life, i mean sure the NSA's rep is in the shitter right now but its not right to let that effect your life choice's.
