The security clearance is rough... A few years ago I stood in a line of
about 200 people in suits at TRW for an interview.  You got a 1 minute
or so Q&A followed by a, "We'll call you..." once you got to the head
table.  They went through the line repeatedly looking for people with a
security clearance. When they found someone they pulled them out of the
line and walked them into a separate conference area....I think they had
coffee in there....

I think it's much easier to grab a kid getting out of the service who
makes classified slides and train him to be a DBA than go the other
route.  I had a security clearance which expired when I went on an
unclass project for more than two years.  Bad move on my part. At age 51
I have too much 'splaining to do to want to go through the process again
even if somebody was willing to sponsor me. Twenty-somethings have so
much less history to remember!

>>> The housing is pricey.  The commute can be rough.


I wonder, are these factors more significant that the US security
clearance?
