The National Security Agency (NSA) is looking to hire some of the competant attendees of the DEF CON conference. They are particularly interested if you win any of the DEF CON competitions. I personally have never attended DEF CON. But I get the impression that you get a badge of honor if you do with a challenge. These must be some peeps with elite skills.
The NSA are doing some forward thinking here. They are trying to attract the people with th e right skills. They also understand that DEF CON hackers might have a shady past. Apparently that will not necessarily disqualify you from a job at the NSA. You just need to be a US citizin.
I would hope that having a government job at the NSA might pay higher than other government jobs. They probably do some interesting work for sure. Check out the NSA link.
