I am over 40 years old and the best thing I have done in regard to my career is to get a Top Secret Clearance. In my search for employment I found a few companies who are willing to hire people contingent upon getting a TS clearance. If you record is clear, it is a very good opportunity. Having a TS with a background in software development means that I can easily earn over 150K a year, have a 4 week paid vacation, plus health benefits. Plus at any time I can give my notice because a) There are many developer position open that require a TS b) If you have C++ and java skills you are in high demand. c) Cyber security is hot and will remain hot. If you can get a career in that field you will be in demand for the next decade. Location does make a difference. Most TS jobs are in Northern VA, DC and Maryland. But there are other places such as Huntsville, AL, Atlanta GA. Just look around and see if any companies such as SAIC, CSC, Boeing, Northrup, Lockhead Martin are offering to get you a TS clearance. Remember to apply in areas like Cyber Security which will always remain hot.
