ETA: I work in the defense industry. The only thing that keeps me from not putting a bullet in my head before coming to work every day (other than paying a mortgage and needing to eat type of stuff) is that although I make my living helping build the next generation of cool new toys to break shit and kill people, I can always hope that a) the stuff we make will never be used, and b) it is some seriously neat-o tech that can easily have civilian applications.

I dream of the day my boss calls a meeting and says "guys, time to ramp it up again; we got another billion-dollar contract from the Department of Peace & Progress."
