MaggieL - go look at www.saic.com and see if they have anything for you. Seriously. We're hiring. Lots. Over 1,000 openings in NoVA alone.
If I was in NoVa or Pax River I might be working in something defense related by now. 9/11 has been a windfall for those in the defense industries but most of that work has fled this area and headed for closer to the Beltway, with the notable exception of Lockheed Martin.

I really can't reloacate right now; kids still in school that I can't move (joint legal custody) and I own a house here. I'm unlikely to get through the pile of other resumes at LM, since all I have is *experience* instead of a degree. The fact that it's thirty years of experience doesn't seem to matter, execpt to count against me. LM even runs ads up here specifying that particular positions are intended for 2001 college grads.

My brother used to work for SAIC up here; they cut him loose when NADC Warminster closed, they moved evereything they were doing to Pax River.

SAIC has *one* position in Philly, for a junior HPUX engineer.
