I am working on my BS in Computer Science, but am hardly the Republican that most engineers tend to be, and don’t really like the stuffy, ultra-conservative office culture. I can’t stand business a$$holes. I will graduate in two years, and am having nightmares (figuratively speaking) about spending the rest of my life working for some overbearing, bible-thumping manager. I know Google has a reputation of being liberal, but I watched their PR video online, and it was embarassingly repulsive and disgustingly sneaky, as is the case with most PR. I get the impression that working there would be no better than working at Microsoft. Right now the best job I can think of for a freethinker like myself would be some independent thing, but I am in no position to embark on someting as unstable as that. Any ideas? Advice from professional programmers would be greatly appreciated.
What are good jobs for liberal-minded computer programmers?

You may wish to learn tolerance of others, or else practice saying, “Do you want fries with that?”.
