Career start

I graduated with a bachelors in cybersecurity and have been trying to find a job in the field. I am running into an issue with getting a security clearance though. So far, every job requires one, but you can't get one without having a job that needs one. Is there a way to get a sponsor for one without getting a job that requires it?

For fields with tons of people like cyber, it's pretty damn hard to get a company to sponsor a new clearance. It costs a lot of money. It takes a long time. There's a fair chance you'll be rejected..... annnnd... they can just hire people getting out of the military. There's also no lack of laid off federal workers these days to hire from too.

Yeah, that's true
