If I have a secret security clearance, what are my options for a job?

Question

I would like answers to if I need to take college as well as not needing to take college. I also have interrogation training.

Thanks guys, but I was looking for more answers like - CIA, DEA, etc. I know those two. I just wanted to know what other jobs require security clearance. I wanna know if they require a degree or not. I also wanna know jobs that are worth having with interrogation training.

Answer 1

It is important if you are taking a government job which requires the clearance. It means they can have you on line faster. In some instances, such as signal communications companies doing government contracting work, it is important because they can get you into the projects that they need to work on faster.

A lot depends on when the initial background investigation was done. If you had a security clearance in the military and then went to college for four years to get an engineering degree, they would need to do a complete background investigation from the beginning.

Answer 2

A secret security clearance does not go with you. Will probably make it easier to get clearance somewhere else but that is all.
Here's an example. I worked for a military contractor and had clearance for classified information. I leave that company for a new job, envn working on the same program using the same information as the previous job I will need a new clearance at my new employer.

Answer 3

Security Clearance is possibly a "you're a spy that got through the background check and polygraph" set-up
designed by criminal authorities to compromise a security clearance workforce that has signed away their ability to escape entrapment.

Answer 4

If you have a TS/BI clearance your best option to take advantage of it is to stay in the military or 'para' military (FBI, SS, etc.) It means little in the business world but may help you obtain a job as a bank teller or something similar.
