Of course you can get a job if you have a felony record in Florida, but not with the government. You can not get a job with the government in any state with a felony record. If a workplace does any business with the government they can not hire you or the government will not take their bid for the job. Now when a politician commits a crime they usually just give him a liter charge.

Yes there are opportunities abound. Not just in FL but throughout the US.
If you have anything of vital importance ( The Grand Questions of Science, etc.) to the US, exceptions will be made for you.
I would suggest that you might consider whatever legal entrepreneural skills you possess and try your hand at starting your own business, i.e. restauranteer, fashion designer, housing developer, religious advisor/teacher, etc.
There are certainly lots of educational opportunities for people with criminal records.

Usually felons are not able to hold office or have a state job. Can they even vote? I seem to recall voting privileges are stripped away too.
But of course, they can re-join the educational system as a student.

A general rule is that the federal government, any government agency for that fact, will not hire felons.

No, they do background checks and in some places extensive ones.
I'd stay away from anything to do with education....sorry.

Maybe. If you have connections. There're always loopholes in everything. Just need to find it.
