There was a time when I would have agreed with the "submit or get out" argument. However, I have since taken a job that did require a clearance. I submitted, but when I realized just how invasive the investigation was, I seriously thought about quitting my job. I felt that many of the questions had no bearing on my performance and they were humiliating--and for what? So that I could work for $20k less per year than my counterparts in the private sector?
To add insult to injury, I realized that our elected officials--including the President himself--are never subjected to a clearance investigation and they have access to far more sensitive information than I will ever see.
My particular job is in the medical field, and I get the opportunity to give back to humanity by helping to save lives. If not for that, I would have quit. Furthermore, if I leave here, I doubt that I will ever accept another job that requires a clearance investigation. So, I do beleive that our government will loose many talented people to higher paying jobs that don't subject them to such invasive practices.

I'd like to know what benefit invading employee privacy will serve an Agency. There is much information an employer does not need to know. I agree our politicians are not subject to this type of invasion of privacy..also there is buzz of hiring felons, which is to me a good thing and could help them, but if the government has no qualms about hiring a person with a felony record, then what could I possibly have on my record that could be a security "threat"???? with 30 years of service mind you???

Hello, of course I came to visit your site and thanks for letting me know about it. I just read this post and wanted to say it is full of number one resources. Some I am familiar with. For those who don’t know these other sites they are in for a treat as there is a lot to learn there.
