I myself am working towards that job (not sure about computer engineering though). It is a lot of fun and thinking is one of my favorite things to do, as for anything about degrees and what not... I honestly have not thought of that (I am only starting high school ). And for working for the U.S.A. it seems you can for both jobs but it will probably be harder (not sure why though).
