how exactly could a private contractor have that level of security clearance, anyway?
The government had a seat that needed filling, they couldn't get the seat filled at the paycheck they're legally allowed to offer to a direct employee, so they hired a private contractor to fill the role. Pretty simple, really.
The government pay rate for someone with a Master's degree and ten years of experience hovers around $60,000 per year, incidentally. It's shockingly low by the standards of the tech sector.
