My career goal is to become a CSO within 10 to 12 years. I currently have an opportunity to take a government contractor position, but it is not a management-level position. It would allow me to obtain a top-secret Department of Defense security clearance in about three years. Will top secret (TS) clearance help me when I seek a CSOs position in the future? Do you know someone who has a top secret clearance? Send it to iReport.com: Share your thoughts.”]
