If you have the kind of skills to write Open GL in Ada for Boeing, then you're not the kind of person who's depending on having rote-learn some latest tech (J2EE, RoR, Node, Go, whatever) and only can get jobs looking for that.

I don't know. I frequently run into people who stereotype aerospace/defense software engineers as stodgy, inflexible dinosaurs.

That's most likely people who would not have the discipline or ability to write software at that level.

Sorry just downvoted you when I wanted to upvote. Pesky mobile browsers.

Wherever you want. I moved on to Ruby on Rails/e-commerce after leaving Boeing in 2006. At Boeing, I did a lot of C/C++/Ada/OpenGL.
