I've heard the janitors who work cleaning the SCIFs with a TS/SCI and higher clearance needed get paid huge salaries.

Anyone with a TS/SCI is getting paid decently. Not a lot of janitors that can clear that hurdle.

Fair, but once you leave, it wouldn't be a stretch for a contractor to pay you 6 figures with that level clearance (or at the very least a decent wage.)

I’m not sure if that makes more sense or less. I seriously feel for the O-3 or gs-9 they put in charge of waste management chaperoning.

Lol.

It's unclassified in the general building. They've tightened things up, but the Pentagon wasn't much different than any military installation. Any person with a valid reason could get a visitors pass and wander the hallways.

Only certain rooms are classified spaces.

If you are being serious, without knowing your background there are a million ways to get a clearance.

You could just a get one of hundreds of thousands of jobs as a contractor for companies like Booz Allen, Accenture, or thousands of small businesses. They need people to do any number of jobs.

For example, while food service is unlikely to be cleared at a Secret or Top Secret level, facilities maint. can be.

You can also consider joining the army, navy, air force, reserves.

I was mostly joking, I have a full time job working with at NGO in DC, but I am currently looking into the Army Reserves as a way to get Intel experience and clearance and generally boost my career. Plus national service is very important to me
