This was true for me.
I was in a internal software tools department at a large company that did some classified work. Because I might need to interact with departments doing classified work I had to apply for Top Secret classification. This was required just in case I might have to get into those areas of the company to teach them how to use our in-house compiler.
(I didn't finish the process of obtaining the classification because of my desire to return to grad school in a different city. I never touched or even saw a classified document despite having Secret clearance already.)
- jfrunyon 5y agoInteresting. I worked for a company doing some classified defense contracting (as an intern). I didn't need any clearance and the only limitation was that anyone without clearance needed an escort to enter the lab. Although really it just boiled down to "see if someone has opened it for the day yet, if not go ask one to" (And in reality I didn't even need that because several people kept their lab key in plain sight on their desk in their open office 24/7...)
