You’re better off if you want to go into the tech world to get a few good certifications like Security Plus Certified Ethical Hacker or Linux plus. It might cost you a few thousand dollars to most, but then you’re set and in certain areas a security clearance helps. However if you have all those shirts you can sign on with the subcontracting company and no help put you in the pipeline to get your clearance paid for 100%
Certs NOT shirts lol
