When I was in college, I interviewed for an internship with the CIA. The 2012 interview was for a 2014 summer internship, and they told me I couldn’t smoke pot between now and then. Given how many talented coders I knew at Stanford who had smoked pot at least once in a year, that seemed insane to me.
Instead, I went to work at Apple where people practically smoked in the office.

- JabavuAdams 9y agoGiven everything that we know the CIA does and has done, why did this seem like a respectable job to you? I assume you wouldn't work for organized crime. EDIT> There's a darker part of me that would enjoy working for an intelligence agency, but I acknowledge that it's not a better part of my nature. Even if you aren't doing the torturing, or assassination, you're directly aiding the organization that is.
