Yeah, no surprise. Getting a clearance sucks.

It takes forever and you're subjected to very intrusive scrutiny as well as potentially psychological tomfoolery like polygraphs.

Why would a qualified individual subject themselves to that unless they have no other option.

There's a reason clearance jobs have a reputation as make-work for ex service members.
