Mmmm ok I am in college in STEM fields and this has come up pretty often with my classmates. I'm pretty happy that most of them have been very uncomfortable working for the MIC, not a single one of them has been excited at all about these kind of job opportunities, even the more conservative ones are grossed out. We would be making the physical equipment though not the software so that might make a difference in how they perceive it.
Everyone has seen what our weapons do and if this person still wants to go contribute to that then idk what you can say to them that's going to change their mind.
I would probably just bring up the morality of working at such a company and go from there. If they actually listen you might be able to have a bigger conversation but if they deflect (well someone is going to do the job ect ect) then they don't care.
