I'm curious if any positions require pre employment drug tests, random urinalysis, or security clearances. What a miserable life for a 20 something in the priva

  You are aware there are many people out there with technical skills who choose not to use drugs for a multitude of reasons? For these people, a security clearance can add tons of job possibilities, a higher salary, and greater job security, with the only tradeoff of being more "miserable" according to the occasional HN poster.

  Clearly some jobs at the org require security clearances, but most don't, and access to career growth isn't gated on that at all. Look up the forbes article from 2013 about the CEO Alex Karp (can't link easily due to adblocker BS) entitled "How A 'Deviant' Philosopher Built Palantir", and tell me again with a straight face that you'd be worried about this.
