I know quite a few extremely skilled people who aren't employed in a technical field. Usually it's some combination of not working well with others, lack of formal credentials and the means to acquire them, or a criminal record. Government work also means you have to be morally okay with what the government does (or willfully ignorant), able to pass a background check, and be willing to go through the security clearance process.
