Yeah, yeah I know. Much of them want around 6-8 years experience. Which isn't too bad. Which makes the point of why I don't get why school even exists? I'm talking college since the experience is needed anywho? What happened to the old days of apprentenciship?
If I was you, look at entry level positions and what they require and their functions to get an idea as to what you wish to study. As Ricshoe mentioned earlier, you have to "pay your dues" so to speak and those entry-level positions will weed out those who are not as productive. Who knows? Maybe you'll hate the entry level positions required to make it to a position like the one you mentioned. Like you said, go with the flow but you gotta do a whole lot of work while "flowing."

Question, would it be legal to sleep my way to the top? That'll make everything easier. We just need more. I think I really need to do some internships to flap mah wings.
Edit: Forgot to mention: Lockheed Martin is a defense contractor. I'm sure they do other stuff as well but I think security and defense is big on their list.

Uh oh
