Unemployed

I was laid off from a rent a car company back in July 2004 since then I tried my best to look for a job that would pay as close to as what I was making (68k).I was hired by SAIC in August of 2004 and was required to get TS/SCI Clearance .I filled out all the forms in September of 2004 .I am still waiting to get my Clearance .I was not born in USA may be that could be the reason why it is taking so long.I did B.A in Journalism and asking if anyone can help me get a Job .

Thank you
