One of my friends growing up was a junior high dropout, hired by DEC as a security consultant at 14 years old.

I see that you disagree, No surprise there. What "training" did he have for the job? Gov. agencies (in IT for example) rarely hire out of the private sector, it's
generally the other way around. Government jobs are training fields for the private sector.

I think he might have had some good recommendations from somewhere.
