i always figured you needed to start out as a janitor for a fed building or be former military to get a fed govt job.

It's not the ideal, but it's a place to start. I don't get to negotiate what my pay is, as it's consider a "living stipend" and I get benefits and what not taken out of that. After I'm done with the contract it's possible for me to get up to $5,000 to pay for school costs, student loan payments, etc but it's strictly for that. Seems this job is geared more towards people either right out of college or looking to go back.
I actually found the gig on Craigslist so, there's that.
