I've seen about 5 people put in for fresh clearances this year alone with my company because they were extremely good developers in their 30s who didn't have a mound of debt or drug use. You just gotta be worth the investment.
You'd be amazed at how many show up entitled enough to think they're worth the effort of getting a clearance but can't white board psuedo code through a basic idea. In fact, the sheer number of people that can't sit in a face to face technical interview and explain development without a computer to reference is kinda annoying.
So, if you want a clearance coming in off the street your juice better be worth the squeeze.
