Not helpful. lol
OK I work for LMCO. She wont even get a look if she doesn’t have a degree. Best bet is to get into a government position to maintain security clearance while going to school. That TSCI is worth its weight in gold but it has to be renewed every 5 years. It is expensive to maintain which is why she wants to have someone else foot the bill. Once she has a degree she should contact the various contractors like LMCO, Northop, General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc. and see what she is qualified to do. I don’t think a criminology degree is going to do much good in the government contracting side of the house. She can visit the various websites for these contractors and see what kind of jobs are open and their requirements. A good solid science degree and a management degree is probably what she is looking at. I joke about immigrating to Australia, but not really, they are looking for highly qualified people and I have my resume out there looking. Tell her she needs to start looking now. She needs to make up her mind what she wants to do then see if she can get in with a government agency while she gets her degree. The job market in the states sucks right now....
