[quote=stockstradr]stockstradr: She was privy to Top Secret company data as an intern? Really?
I was an engineering intern myself at Motorola (back in 1993 when it was actually a successful company)
I was amazed at the confidential information I had access to. As for the power line data, I believed that friend of mine when she told that story; she was a straight-up honest chick, also a 4.0 GPA student.[/quote]
How is that possible? To get access to top secret information, that would have required a security clearance, which for an intern would have been impossible to get, considering a security clearance requires extensive background check that often takes months. An internship would have been over before the background check is completed. I know because specifically I was an intern at motorola and defense companies, and the company mistakenly started the process of applying for a security clearance for me when I started, and cancelled it about 6 weeks later after they realized I was an intern.
Side note: other things I learned early on was Motorola and defense companies were not going to be my thing (when a company spends money on a museum about itself and hires FTE’s to run it, you know the company was wasting money. if you were a mot intern, you know exactly what I was talking about). Not to mention working Arlington Heights and Schamleberg(sp) blows.
