95What jobs should people with felony convictions look for?
When people get out of jail with a felony, it is almost impossible to find any job. The word "felon" scares them and some policies are not to hire them. Though what constitutes a felon does not mean that they embezzeled money or committed murder. Many are looking to get their lives back, but society makes it almost impossible.

Felon doesn't mean failer.. It could mean they are skillfully minded and chose to use their skill for the fast lane, this doesn't mean they are not to be trusted, on the contrary, these minds can be used for good things such as a Mechanic or Technician position (they can tweak a car or a computer and work alone and unsupervised). Or a felon can get (in some rougher neighborhoods, a security job - sure not the normal, carry a gun security job, but the "secret shopper" security guy watching the isle or the monitor for "would be shoplifters". Felons make great Bodyguards, maybe not for the rich and famous, but for the scared and insecure accountant on the lamb or under the witness protection program. There are some felons who have dabbled in the criminal investigation portion of police work. Kinda of a contractor if you will to give tips and tricks to help catch america's most wanted.
