If you're a young leftist coming out of college with an engineering degree is it ethical to take a job with a defense contractor? One listener is in that exact predicament. He said there aren't engineering jobs available in the US in green energy and public transit. The jobs are at Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrup Grumman.

Caller: So I'm like I'm an engineering student senior in college looking for jobs. It's very stressful and I'm still not getting any jobs. But I think it's just important to raise awareness to the fact that there's a lot of like engineering students to military defense contractors like pipelines in the United States. a lot of the jobs a lot of the recruiting that happens at engineering schools a lot of that goes like to Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Boeing all these companies are just like massive defensive defense contractors. and it just sort of sucks because there's nothing you can do about it. and like you look at job postings in Europe and a lot of them are for renewable energy and for train development and public transit. and here it's like well if you're like a genius you can go to SpaceX and then otherwise you're going to be like a defense contractor. And a lot of that's just like a product of like there's so much money for like development of bombers that like that's where the jobs are. But I also have a question for you guys and you might not have an answer but do you think as someone who likes I want the military budget to go significantly down. I don't want the US military to be all over the world. Like, is it moral or ethical for me to like to take a job in that field if that's like the only place where I'm going to be able to get a job? because I need to make money and it sort of sucks. but like and like what solutions do you think engineers there on the left can like to try to affect change in this field?
