I have a quick query. When I'm applying to jobs related to math and physics (software engineer, data analyst, data scientist, python developer, quantitative analyst, programmer, research analyst, etc), I am seeing a good portion of them requiring a security clearance.
Is this something others experience or has the algorithm for my job search latched onto something that is not desirable? I would love to work on a top secret project for the government, but I'm not interested in getting polygraphed, spending 6 months to get a security clearance or being rejected for not having one. I'd rather work a regular job to avoid that extra headache. I'm surprised it's as prevalent as I am seeing it. Is it just me?
