My uncle is trying to get me to work at Boeing over the summer for "job experience" 🤢
Idk how to tell him I don't want to work for a war criminal out of moral obligation without essentially calling him a pos
I'm not even an engineer, I just wanna do physics and not kill anyone thanks
the further you get in STEM, the more you realize just HOW much is MIC related. Very depressing
Can always take your uncle up on the offer as long as a position/internship is in the main part of Boeing rather than the "integrated military systems" division.
There is lots of work in the commerical side of Boeing rather than the military side. It's a good career. Boeing is kinda unique out of the big US defense contractors in that the commerical/civilian division is primary with the company having a smaller subsidiary that does military production. Most people at Boeing will never be involved with producing weapons and military hardware, the people who do end up in that part of the company are there because they choose to.
Honestly every established corporation in the US has military contracts, everyone thinks of the prime contractors but for every project there are thousands of downstream subcontractors. To put this in perspective, even Burger King and Subway are are military contractors.
Lol my cousin and his mom are trying to hook me up with Lockheed. There are so many ghouls in my family that it turns me off from wanting to interact with them
