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.

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

If your job resulted in the design, testing validation, construction, streamlining, or otherwise indirect contribution to a weapons system that is actively killing children in Gaza as I write this comment, why should I consider the reasons you had to take the job? Should I also refrain from shaming an organ trafficker or a mafia capo?

edit: ah sorry, checked your profile and literally every single comment is concern trolling. Won't waste my time here!

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.
