Having a clearance isn't an honor or an award.
Colleges are not going to care about clearances.

I think that NSA hires a bunch of these young people. They are great positions, and they have the clearance!

I would make sure they have the maturity and work ethic to handle this internship well, because it seems like the kind of thing you would not want to half-@$$ if you wanted to be anything vaguely government-related in the future!

My child is considering a high school internship senior year as an office assistant at the NSA. Has anyone's child done this internship? Did you feel it was a good experience and worth the time? Thanks in advance for any information or advice!
