I’m looking to attend grad school full time. Is there any way to maintain my clearance without company sponsorship while I’m at school?

Clearances are good for a number of years depending upon the level. When was your last investigation and what level clearance have you been granted?

helpful

You should be fine then.

Generally your clearance will be fine if you can reactivate it within 2 years after leaving.

Once your clearance is no longer sponsored, it becomes current for 2 years as long as the underlying background investigation is still in scope and can be easily reactivated at any point during that time.

If the underlying BI will become out of scope during that 2 year window, though, then the current clearance window is shortened accordingly.

Trusted Workforce 2.0 will change all of that, but we're several years out from that being widespread.

I’ll caution that just because it’s current, it doesn’t mean it’s equal to being active. Companies still have to request it to become active and they may or may not want to do that if someone else already has an active clearance and is ready to get crossed over.

With interest rates rising, am I better off paying off over paying my fixed term mortgage or investing over the next 4-5 years?
Mortgage rate is fixed for 5 years at a fairly low 1.99%. I could plough in extra cash to reduce overall interest over the years.
If I were to invest, I’d probably hold in cash for a few months and get into a regular investment in the market towards end of the year.

Having a bit of an existential crisis - but fishbowl hasn’t steered me wrong so far.

I’ve got an offer to study a masters in international affairs (focus in economics) at Columbia SIPA (no financial aid package) or I could stay in management consulting (5-6 ywe) at Oliver Wyman.

I enjoy consulting but it wasn’t what I see myself doing long term. Longer term I saw myself either being an economist or working in the world bank.

Interested in the perspectives of folks in this bowl. Thanks guys
