My cousin is/was a bit of a hacker. He hacked South African airways system to get a job with them.
As he told them their system was rubbish and needed to be protected better.
He got the job.
He then told Microsoft a similar thing and said if you don't improve your protection he'll sit with them and hack their system in under an hour.
They didn't believe him and he did exactly what he said he would. And got the job.
He the decided he wanted to do another degree at Oxford or Cambridge (I forget which) and they said they would pay for his tuition, his accommodation and expenses just as long as he came back to work for them afterwards.
He turned them down!
The last I heard (whist he was at Uni there was a massive family falling out) he was employed by the Chinese Government earning gazillions........
Good for him
Certainly not the first time I've heard of similar stories so I wish him every success.
