<p>But let’s be frank - how many people are actually going to have TS/SCI+Poly clearance by the time they graduate? I would argue that that figure is far far smaller than even the number who are going to enter finance/consulting.</p>
<p>After all, globaltraveler stated himself that the process of obtaining such a clearance can take upwards of 18 months. To obtain such a clearance by graduation would therefore entail finding an employer who would sponsor you in your college junior year. That doesn’t seem likely.</p>
