He would need to work for a company that can hold clearances and the
clearance would need to be tied to a contract that requires it. Even if you
get it, you would need to be working on a contract that requires it, if you
leave it goes inactive and it's easy to come back w/i 2 years. After 2
years, you have to start the process over again. As a consultant, you can
get a prime a contractor to hold your clearance and funnel the money to you
from the government, but then you need to pay a pass through rate for the
services, which is usually around 15% depending on your negotiations.
TS won't require polygraphs unless it specifically is a TS w/ POLY. Most
people I know have a TS and some are lucky enough to have TS SCI and maybe
even POLY if they're really lucky. If you get an opportunity that will get
you up to TS SCI with POLY, you jump on it for sure as that is high demand.
