Besides working for governments and researching at universities,
what employment is there for cryptologists?

Bell Labs?

Startup companies making small-scale or specialist market crypto gear
such as encrypted phones, modems, cardreaders. Theres hundreds of them.

Military sales. Its a boom (sorry) market. 3CI and battlefield comms is 
	selling big isn't it?

Private Space technology 

	-error-correcting/detecting work must be close in nature and they
	have ferocious deep space needs, not to say crypto requirements
	for telemetry/guidance.

Non-illegal inter-company spying?  and counter-measures? :-)

Microsoft (who is not the only one!) has licensed RSA's technology.
My boss (Nathan Myhrvold, MS VP for advanced technology) testified
before congress that his kids will think of the no-encryption
systems around now the way _we_ think of the unlocked houses
of old rural America. So I think companies who think like that
will need good encryption bodies.

How about IBM, AT&T, and any of the companies that reverse-engineer other  
companies' encryption schemes (e.g. Cable TV descramblers)? (:-)
