Yo Tony -
Might want to take a look at SAIC.
http://www.saic.com - we have a *ton* of locations, and we're hiring. We're privately held (employee ownership, baby), and *all* the people I know here are good decent human beings. We hire mainly on "what will you bring to the company?" and not "I see you have 37 years experience with blahblah C compiler."
One of the cool things about SAIC is that we operate like a ton of small businesses under a big umbrella. I guess this is probably true of a lot of big businesses, but like... my division, we have our own little things that we do, and we just do those. We don't get funding from above - the profit we make, we keep. It's pretty slick.
I was 19 when I started working here (in February - 20 as of July). I came from Pizza Hut. My strengths were Linux, six years experience (at home) networking and my personality. And that's what did it. I came in, I interviewed for 4 hours with 3 different people... and they made me an offer. Although I'm getting paid more than I was offered anywhere else, I hear that SAIC's pay, all around, isn't the highest you'll find - but it's very competitive and decent.
I just looked real quick, and we have 21 openings in PA. So who knows, one might be for you. We're bigger in San Diego and Northern Virginia (where I am) - we have over 1,000 openings in NOVA alone. Anyway, might be worth your while to check us out and take a look.
