Hi Virginia forum!

How difficult would it be to find work in the IT field without a security clearance? I have family in southern Virginia and have been considering relocation. I've worked in the private sector for years, and do not have any military background.

Getting the security clearance isnt that difficult. But if you have any major purchases to make (house, car), do them first.

Not sure about Southern VA, but I haven't had a problem in Northern VA finding work in the IT Field without a security clearance. I started contracting around 2000 and have had steady work. My last contract was 7yrs and I'm currently on the 3rd year at a facility.

I don't have any security clearances, though I've gone through numerous background checks over the years. Also I'm a naturalized citizen and that hasn't prevented me from finding steady and good paying work. Never been in the military as well.

Good luck to you!
