Yes, you should. It's tedious but isn't hard and you want to be able to go for any job when your<br>
current project winds down. If nothing else it makes you more competitive with the competition,<br>
which allows you more choice of jobs bargaining power.<br>
<br>
Willson doesn't work for Raytheon so he's out of luck. Don't wind up like him because you were lazy<br>
(even if that would be a big step up).<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Dave's right. If you're already working for contractors who require clearances, don't pass up the opportunity to have them get a clearance for you. And, usually, the higher the better. If you're working for one of the contractors already you're already half in; go ahead and give yourself the opportunity to make those other choices when they come up. (Of course, if you don't want the headaches with living in the secure world, don't get one.)</div>
