The best job for a scientist or engineer is working for a military defense contractor, right?

I did that for a year. It wasn't any fun. My company developed OSs for drones, so I thought I'd be doing some cool badass shit, but my work wouldn't have been any different had my company handled smartphones, the pay wasn't much better, and there was all this stressful bullshit like drug tests, background checks, psychology tests, a camera on me 24/7, etc, just so I could be in the same fucking building as some classified documents.
