The Secret Clearance Payoff

Do you have a secret clearance? Generally folks who have just left the military will have one that can be reactivated within two years. Otherwise you pretty much need to be working for the government, or for a government contractor to receive one.

However, if you can jump through the hopes laid before you, the payoff can be great. Finding available workers with secret clearances (of any kind) is very difficult for some areas of the country. If you’re willing to move to a slightly undesirable location for 6 months to two years (depending on the contract), you can make some serious money.
