Not much. Probably Mcdonalds or something

some factory jobs but no goverment jobs. all i get is factory jobs. every other place dont want to hire me because i am a convicted felon. it has even been past the 7 yrs that i have to list it on an application but some do a criminal background check and and they hold it against me. i dont think thats fair, but they do.

I'm no expert but I guess it kind of depends on what your career aspirations are. I know of lawyers, doctors and CPA's who've done felony time and gotten their licenses back so if you want a profession I imagine it's a matter of learning the licensing rules then getting the education. At another level, you might consider a skilled trade. Here again, you'd have to get some training to be a plumber, conputer technician, or mechanic but I don't think your past would present a problem and there might even be training/placement programs directed at you. And I wouldn't think that prospective employers would view endangerment is as bad as, shall we say, armed robbery. Good luck.

Most people these days will not hire you. (period) I am a convicted felon, I had a very minor conviction 12 years ago, and then recently a second conviction for having a firearm as a convicted felon... Not only can i not get 'jobs', but i have been looking into career training, and colleges. I have been turned down by Trade Schools for my conviction status. College seems bleak, considering that any computer, business, or finance position will almost certainly turn down a convicted felon. I currently work as a pizza delivery driver, and guess what? I can never become a store manager because I am a convicted felon. This is rediculous. I can't even aspire to be a manager of a fast food joint. The good news.... There is always construction. Depending on what part of the country you're in, you can always start out as a laborer and within a few years be a 'mechanic'. mechanic positions in most trades (sheetrock, tile, siding, framing... etc.) pay quite well, and depending on the company, you can indeed move up even further. going with smaller companies will be your best bet until you get enough experience to be needed by any other company. The best advice I could give you, is to start thinking about a way to go into business for yourself. The only real way to get away from your conviction is to become self employed. People can look up your company's history all they want, and your personal history will not be an issue. If your lucky, you can have your record expunged. I was not so lucky because in the state of my conviction, I also obtained a DUI (again this was 10+ years ago). A DUI constitutes a second offense for any felony, meaning you can never get expunged. So here i am 10 years later, still serving my sentence. If anyone else knows of career choices (besides construction) I would like to hear some other options or experiences also.

i was lucky enough to get job working at a place that actually didn't check crimianl history. i got the job 2 wks after i got out of lock up and worked there for about 2months before i got a 1.50 raise and have learned more about the buisness than most of the people that have been working there for 8 or so years. you have to prove yourself. i was convicted of 4 felonies at one time possibly looking at going to state pen. keep your head up and your eyes open.

The guy towards the top who can't become store manager is limited by his employer, not by the law, unless that's a law in his state. I have a felony and I own my own pizza place and run it. Your options are limited, but limited more by your own imagination. Know how much it takes to start a small business like cleaning store windows? Like about $300 and a car. Know how much you can make? Easily $300 a day. Stop doubting and get out there and try to make something happen for yourself.
