There is always working for university reasearchers, some of whom have equipment and techniques only 1-2 years behind mil-ind. This of course, generally means working for 30-50% of your industry worth. But then, I consider it worth it to simultaneously stay away from both COBOL and weapons and still have my toys. Various other fields such as factory robotics and oh, automotive instrument control, thing like that still get you reasonable 'toys' without being defence-oriented. Mike S.
