High School Drop Out Works for Booz Allen and CIA?

Something seriously wrong has happened in this country over the last 40 years when a High School drop out gets a job with the CIA and Booz Allen Hamilton.  I don't care how tech savy the person is or where the value proposition for their skills lays on the spectrum.  A High School drop out should only be able to get work commensurate with that fact because they clearly lack a basic understanding of the value of education; which is to understand many facts and how to think about complex issues.  Working for the CIA and Booz Allen requires the ability to think.

I knew someone who tried to get a job with the CIA in 1975.  They were a college graduate with a Math major from a quality school.  They were put through a battery of tests; both written and through interrogation.  They were not offered a job.  Yet, the CIA hires Edward Snowden.

I didn't try to get hired by Booz Allen when I graduated from MBA School because I knew they wanted only those with the best grades and I was in the middle grade wise.  Now they hire high school drop outs like Edward Snowden.  Apparently, they paid Edward Snowden so well, he has a home in Hawaii and can afford to hang out in a hotel in Hong Kong.  At 29, he must have more wealth than I do at 60.  What the !@#$% was Booz Allen doing hiring a high school drop out?

I am apoplectic about this.  Why would these two institutions ever hire a high school drop out?  Look at what has happened.  Every terrorist has had confirmed what they already suspected.  The Big Satan has the ability to be looking over them every time they use electronic communication; which every country that is the subject of terrorism should be doing.  But the terrorists didn't need this confirmed.  Nobody's rights are infringed when a piece of data about their activity is logged in a database.  It is the electronic equivalent of a speed trap. If you are doing wrong, you have something to fear.  If you are not doing wrong, you have nothing to fear because you won't be pulled over.  You have to be pulled over before your rights come into play.
