Wage(s) peace not war

Today, I listened to an interesting job opportunity. It was an offer from the Navfac, the naval facilities engineering command. The job sounded really interesting. They do all sorts of research, testing and simulation, all of which interest me greatly. I was inexplicably unsettled, though. I'm not sure I even now know what it was, but there's something about doing research on explosions that's just not appealing to me. From an engineering and mathematics perspective it's a fascinating problem, I guess I just realized that if I'm going to use the powers of reason and the training I've received I'd rather it be in something more worthwhile and productive. I really don't think that what they're doing is wrong or evil, but I really don't think that what they're doing is for me.
