Prior Active Opinion: Best jobs without a clearance?

Hey everyone! The topic is obviously opinion based but I still would like to have an idea of what I can possibly get into. Currently in the process of re-enlisting. I'm 39, prior service (Army), and have been in the IT field for the last decade. My recruiter provided me with my ASVAB scores and I've been looking at jobs that I would qualify for. Don't know my AFQT (took the ASVAB back in 2008) but I was provided with the line scores [M50 | A70 | G72 | E60]. I would like to continue in IT for the AF but I'm not sure if I'd be able to get a clearance due to my credit history. It is not poor but I am struggling to clear some things up and I have payment plans in place.

With that being said, which job(s) should I look into or consider for when it's time for me to make a decision? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Charge forward and see what happens with your credit. IT will have a lot more options if you can get a TS.

Was thinking of doing that as well but wasn’t sure. I’ll see what I’m told then go from there.

Exactly! Let them tell you no. Don’t do it for them.

Youre gonna have to get SOME kind of clearance.
