Reserve duty is probably the only situation where this would work and you could hold down another job.

You can’t network to an account in your company to pick up your clearance?

I switched firms, went from a TS to a S project. Reached out to a few folks I knew on a TS project and they offered to pick me up before reinvestigation...but I am a few years away...

Technically nobody needs to hold it. It can “sit” for 2 years before it becomes inactive.

It doesn't help in the short term, but this is one of the huge potential benefits of Trusted Workforce 2.0...whenever it gets fully implemented!
