    It depends on what type of felony it is.. i have a credit card abuse- did 6 months and i know that i cant hold any job involved with money (banks, tellers etc.) cant write any prescribtions (so that leaves out anything past a nurse)

    And no offense but no matter how hard you work and bust your ass there still going to look at it- and its still going to matter..believe me there are restrictions to what felons can and can not do so make sure if your furthering your career (going to school etc) you have to make sure you can even do the job first...because big jobs like lawyers, docts, nurses, psychologists, etc.. haves bars you have to pass and commitees you have to go in front of and guess what having a felony automatically denies your bar.

    http://www.solutionsfortexas.info/id73.html

    this is an excellent website...Gives alot of info on what all restrictions for felons including housing, financial aid etc.. even gives a short list of jobs that felons cant do (now keep in mind it is for the state of tx) but im sure its pretty similar everywhere..

    Now i will say this, dont listen to people when they say you cant do something i know first hand that felons CAN vote, and for anyone who is looking to hire you, your also considered a tax deduction. Yah up to 2400 off the companies taxes...yep
    I did my research while i was incarcerated and i found out alot of things now im trying to get into school and i have to figure out what i can and cannot do..
    Well i hope this helped
