WASHINGTON - The highly secretive National Security Agency is looking to hire 7,500 workers over the next five years in the spy agency's largest recruiting campaign since the 1980s.

A release posted on the agency's Web site said NSA plans to hire 1,500 workers by September, and another 1,500 in each of the next four years. Those with specialties in foreign languages, especially Arabic and Chinese, were encouraged to apply.

NSA said it was boosting its staff "to meet the increasing needs of the ever-changing intelligence community."

My wife had a job offer some time back. She decided that teaching school in Texas would gave more take home pay. It was her dream job she had to say no to.

I don't know if I could stare at a screen all day and half the night.. lol.. What am I saying? That's what I do now. :-\

And to top it off, they even pay ya to figure out what other folks are trying to say. That's par for the course around here.
