As a public speaker and author mostly. He doesn't get access to state secrets and hasn't been employed by any other company. He wouldn't get a call back from McDonalds if he applied.

He's hired as a pen tester and gains access to companies, their secrets, etc. I have a sysadmin friend whose company hired him to pentest, and they kept in contact.
