The basic story here is that my school appears to have a scholarship program where the government pays Tuition/Room and Board (On top of a generous-looking stipend) for your last two years of school, and in exchange, you work for them in Security/Information Assurance for an equivalent amount of time.
Is there any reason not to jump on this as soon as I'm eligible for it as opposed to doing things the normal way and getting a job with a "normal" company (Probably Texas Instruments, in my case)? I mean, on one hand, it's paying my bills (Which isn't really an issue for me, since my parents are pretty generous, but it would save them the money, which is definitely a good thing), but on the other hand, it's the government. I'm not too terribly familiar with what goes into a government job, especially in this kind of field. Does anybody have a clue and would be willing to shed some light on it?
