I'm a fairly new computer science graduate and it has been hard to find a cyber security job that doesn't require a clearance. I've done a bunch of ctfs and reverse engineering, but I just don't see many roles out there that are meant to train people like me that will give me an interview. So it's being a programmer for me until that changes.

Have you thought about joining the National Guard in a cyber or intel capacity to get the clearance? Outside boot camp, tech school, and deployments you'd be able to work in the private sector simultaneously.

I generally would not do cleared jobs out of ethical concerns. I'm more lamenting that a clearance makes it easy to break into security but otherwise it's not clear how to.
