    The beginning of her story sounds like mine. I scored high on the ASVAB and secured an Intelligence job and TS/SCI at 17. Cannon AFB, New Mexico was my first duty station & I was there for 5 years, most of my enlistment lol. I was actually there when she was there!! I purchased my first house there at 21 too lol. Now I'm 25, working in the DMV area as an intel analyst, making the GovTech transition. Youre both a huge inspiration! Thank you for this, Symoné! Thank you, Huralain! Maybe ill be featured in one of these sit-downs one day lol

    • @verympressiv
      @verympressiv Před 8 měsíci +16

      @@Playerz714 correct, the security job is what gets you your clearance. You study for certs/ upskill while you’re waiting for your clearance to process. For any company that contracts with the federal government, the clearance can get your foot in the door in tech. This is exactly what I did.

    I agree with her on the military! The military will sometimes fund your security clearance and because a lot of companies outside wouldn’t want to put in the money to pay for your clearance and that makes your job searching opportunities a lot easier in the civilian sector.

    • @OS24021
      @OS24021 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Most contracts do not. Remember these are legal documents and laws from states & federal are geared towards the consultants/contractors being paid on time. If a contract gets political, the agency may enter litigation to pay the contractor/firm a settlement to dissolve the contract.

    • @harrystaley3289
      @harrystaley3289 Před 8 měsíci +3

      @@OS24021 You are absolutely wrong. It just happened to me working for a defense contractor. Working in acquisitions in prior life it definitely does happen contracts end, options years don't get funded, incumbents don't get past the re-compete, you are definitely not recession or issue proof. This happens even with higher level clearances.
