What do you think about working in a defense company, is it worth applying for such a company, or is it ethical?

located on the outskirts of my city, Wroclaw, the history of this factory coincides in a funny way with the history of my city., It's UTC

Well, Wroclaw was once a German city, but it was ceded to Poland, the result of the so-called Yalta Conference, Stalin took the Polish lands in the east, but forced the defeated Third Reich. to hand over to Poland its eastern territories. they started this war, and they lost it, so no one asked the superhuman race for opinions, because all Allies gave **** on it :-) 

So Poland get Wroclaw with all the factories, and on of such factories was build my German corporation Rheinmetall – Borsig, they used slave labour from Gross-Rosen concentration Camp, they created turbopump for Messerschmitt, after war it was used for Polish defense by our PZL corporation they produced spare parts for our Mig-29 now it was acquired by multinational American defense corporation UTC they would produce spare parts for our F-16 that Poland bought from America (but privately if i was pilot i would pick Mig-29 because their cruising speed is MACH 2,25 vs lame MACH 1,25 of F-16  
Sure F-16 is better weapon platform but i love speed  

So i want apply to that factory but i not have university degree in that area i have library science BA, and trade school as logistician.

 

A other friend tells me that dreams should not be done at all costs, that work in an armaments company does not please Jehovah God, because he is a Jehovah's Witness and for a long time wants to convert me to the "dark side of power" 

 

But I pray to God, give me this job, because I am not working for KFC anymore, although the atmosphere at work in the kitchen is wonderful, and the Grander sandwich is almost free for us

ccording to a friend from the church of JW, working in an armaments company may not like the god, maybe but I may like a lot of $$$ and that I could work with modern technologies, it's basically Aspie paradise, because i have Asperger
And we like anything that is sciency geeky or nerdy, and maybe i could use to learn how to operate CNG machine

Pretty much entire Germany and a decent part of the rest of the Europe worked directly or indirectly for the pedant regime. A lot of infrastructure and companies from that time still remain and tens of millions of people work there. For them, apparently, there are little or no ethical issues. They have bills to pay and work to be done.

In your particular case, you are the only one that can say if you have ethical reservation and if you would be comfortable working for a company that stopped being a threat to Poland 30 years before you were even born.

 

Edit:

Pedant censorship? Come on people, we can't even have a grown ups discussion?

Yeah, really helps with grammar pedants. Nothing stops you from typing Natzee though.

 

 

@Pawelk198604 Why should it has ethical issues ? As you wrote on the title, the word can also be "defense"; "deterrence" helps defense and avoids confrontation (doesn't help stops bloody proxy wars though).

My bigger question is qualification. Given your relatively "managerial" background, most of the slots are going to be "pretty comfy".

But you know what ? Go ahead.

A friend of my brother whom I help look after a dog, a German Shepherd, is a serviceman of vending machines. He said that he would help me properly prepare my CV and cover letter

I do not know if it is worth writing there that I just bought courses for learning Python and Unity program, although my only experience in this field is Pascal programming language, and that most of the day and actually night, I spend playing in KSP, flight simulators, and visiting XXX

That I would give everything to work in this company, even if it was to be a job in the same way as serf peasants in the 19th century in Poland

 

 

Or poor black people in XIX century CSA
