Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Symoné Berry, a 31-year-old government contractor living in Atlanta. I figured out that I needed to get a CompTIA Security Plus authorization to work in many of the overseas positions.

This is money that compensates for the long hours so that staff can travel during their time off. Overseas government contract work requires at least 50 hours a week.
