where do people with felony convictions work?

[Alex]

Because every job app asks this question.

Construction would be a safe bet

[Alex]

That sector is in the shitter

Why exclusively? What sector?

Um..not sure if you are actually serious with this question. How about start with the United States Congress and work your way down.

Self employment is your best bet to make any real money. A few of my clients do courier services or commercial landscape.

Legal courier is a pretty good gig. Get in with a few lawyers and ferry their documents and subpoenas to and from the court or person being subpoenaed. I thought about doing it as a second income, but just got a promoted so I don't have the time.


<-- not a felon. Just throwin' that out there.

Serious as I was thinking about that vast group of good workers that fucked up somehow

Years ago my GF was a parole officer and I got to meet a lot of young guys who just did something stupid and relatively minor that got them thrown into the pen for a few years. I saw her paroles constantly getting fucked over and figured that they were doomed to go back to the pen if no one took a chance on them. I have had great luck and have found them to make very loyal employees. I have a company that does swimming pool repairs, maintenance, and remodels.

Just because an application asks, doesn't mean they won't hire a felon. Sometimes they just want to know if it was a violent crime, or theft. If you have either of those on your record, than you're going to be hard up to get a decent job. I was put on felony probation a little over a year ago for possession. While it definitely makes things harder people are still willing to look the other way when they see that it was a marijuana charge, and not a violent crime. Luckily my probation is deffered, and I won't have the conviction when I finish. It really showed me how much harder life gets when you don't worry about consequences though. Honestly after having to go through all this, if I had my own business I would make a point to hire at least a couple people with a prior felony. As hard as it is to find a good job anymore, its even harder for felons. Many of them are still good people, and they appreciate you and the job so much more for giving them a chance.
