i believe i answered this one before....
but there are a lot of jobs you can get with a felony....
a degree will be especially helpful for you to get hired because when you do go to apply for a job, and you have a felony, you can prove that you are rehabilitated by the fact that you attended college and successfully earned a degree.
you will need this type of rehabilitation efoort and proof if you plan to qualify for an exemption from your criminal record for certain fields.

think again
take a look at how many people have a degree obtained while in jail. Some of them actually went to law school and became attorneys. You just have to try a little harder. Someone will give you a chance. On a lighter note, have you thought about business school to be a CEO or politician. lol

Have you ever watched a show on the Discovery Channel called "It Takes A Thief"? The two guys on it are both convicted burglars. One of them went to school and became a TEACHER after he got out of prison, before doing this show. As long as you are clean-cut, professional, and are very conscientious, depending on the field you've chosen and the crime you were convicted of, you should have few problems.

no after some time you can ask the court to remove it from your record with a degree and showing how its holding you back and the act was because you was young they will remove it good luck and stay in school
