Notion that you need security clearance for IT security job is flat out wrong . Don’t even entertain these comment . How I know , 15 years of experience in this industry . But this doesn’t even apply to you, since you probably have TS from military.
But IT security is very wide domain, fairly complex if you want to be good at it , because of the level of detailed understanding from all underlying technology, you will need to be good at it.
And since you are starting career today, the most important thing is coading and skripting . There won’t be any real IT job that won’t need skripting/coding in near future. So I would highly recommend to start with coading for any IT career as base requirement and be good at it. This will make you successful in any branch of IT specialization you choose further.
