    In my generation it was the nuclear industry (immediately post TMI & Chernobyl) which was giving away the huge incentive bonuses and premium salaries. I never filled out the Navy application - though I hear they paid the best overall. I did interview twice (nothing better to do at the time), got two offers, declined both, ultimately took lower paying jobs that I didn’t mind the idea of going to work at.

      I just had an opportunity for a job at a company that does autonomous weapons systems. That was a tough one to turn down.
