Question about Top Secret Security Clearance

I was recently asked to get top secret security clearance at work. I have some questions for those who have experience in this:

1) If I later part ways with the company, do I keep the clearance? (I see jobs that say active DoD clearance required, so I assume this is the case.)

2) Are there financial benefits to having DoD Top Secret Clearance should I be in the job market at some point in the future?

3) Anything else you know about this?

I'm not planning on leaving my company, but we are going through layoffs so I'm happy to apply for clearance. I really didn't see it coming, so there is a lot to learn.

And on a tangential note about the de-briefing, why do they have you remove your underwear?

Sorry, the dumber the pun the better I like...
