Nobody wants to work for the NSA anymore

The National Security Agency is reportedly worried about meeting its recruitment goals since whistleblower Edward Snowden's revelation of its mass domestic surveillance.

"Before the Snowden leaks we looked at the NSA as being a spy agency, and they did what they were supposed to do," said Matthew Green, a professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins University. "But we've learned that they've been collecting this incredible amount of information. And they're not shy about doing whatever they have to do to get access to that information."

Green's cooling affection for the NSA is not an isolated incident. NPR reports that many new computer science graduates, turned off from the NSA for ethical reasons and lured by higher salaries in the private tech industry, are opting to avoid the spy life they were formerly eager to join.
