A fun part of my current job hunting adventures is a lot of the stuff relevant to my degree requires a security clearance, but I also change online ident semi-frequently and live in the arse crack of nowhere so I don't get any IRL social interaction. This is making it surprisingly difficult to scrounge up 10 years worth of referees so I can't apply for anything needing that needs an SC interview, which is 90% of potential jobs.
Annoying!
