From Jax, in my doubting phase. I did a Cybersecurity Bootcamp with USF. I am working on my Comptia+ Cert. I got here from a repost from one of our mutuals. I appreciate this and it’s timely. I have a degree in Philosophy. I know that it’s not relevant, but could it be helpful at all? I feel like it gives me an edge on critical thinking. But that has proven to be difficult to market via LinkedIn.

A company has to sponsor you. Either the government themselves or a contracting company. Basically you need to land a role that’ll will pay for your clearance.

Just know you can’t pay for the clearance. Sponsorship is the only way.

If you know somebody who can get you in, yes. If not almost impossible. Networking will be your best bet. I’m speaking from experience. I have my Net+, Sec+, last year of my 4 year Cybersecurity Bachelors program, no luck what so ever. I don’t have a security clearance but I’ve attended a 24 week in person Cybersecurity Bootcamp etc. Still hard for me to break in.
