[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I work in research"[/quote] ??? DH and I are scientists from Europe. We work in research. Most researchers are foreign-born, did you know that? The US, until now, needed more brains than it grew domestically. It used to be called the brain drain: talented scientists from all over the world coming to work in the US. Now, who knows what's going to happen, but to your point: it doesn't make sense. [/quote] I think that PP's point was that people don't disclose their secret squirrel jobs, especially in defense research. People just generically say they work for the government or work in research. [/quote] I used to tell people I was a defense contractor. No one is [b]that curious [/b]about what we did.[/quote] Or some are and will ask "what [i]exactly[/i] do you do?" Umm...[/quote]
