Edward Snowden's education?
 
I'm sure you guys heard of this guy and all the stuff that is going on. Anyways, not getting into all the political stuff, by any chance has anyone been able to find this guys educational/work history background?

I've searched but found nothing. Pretty much just articles about him and what he has said and is doing. I find him to be pretty successful especially at the age of 29 doing the work that he does or did. Just really curious to see how he made it there. Not sure if its true or not but i've read that he doesn't even have a high school education.

Here is some info I took from this article http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/10/us...pagewanted=all :

Mr. Snowden, a native of North Carolina, told The Guardian that he signed up in 2003 for an Army Special Forces training program because he wanted to fight in Iraq.

“I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression,” he said.

But he said he had quickly become disillusioned with the military.

“Most of the people training us seemed pumped up about killing Arabs, not helping anyone,” he said.

After breaking his legs during a training accident, Mr. Snowden was discharged from the Army and took a job as a security guard at an N.S.A. secret facility on the University of Maryland’s campus, according to The Guardian, which said it had confirmed his story.

Despite not having a high school degree, he was later hired by the C.I.A. to work on information technology security, serving in Geneva. In 2009, he joined the N.S.A. as a contractor at a facility in Japan, where, he said, he watched “as Obama advanced the very policies that I thought would be reined in.”

Most recently, Mr. Snowden has been part of a Booz Allen team working at an N.S.A. facility in Hawaii. Three weeks ago, he made final preparations to disclose the classified documents, The Guardian said. It said he had copied the documents and told a supervisor that he needed to take a few weeks off to deal with medical problems. He then flew to Hong Kong.
