He cannot get rid of the felony, but he can get an education. A person with a felony and a degree has more opportunities that a person with a felony and no degree. If finances preclude a batchelor's degree, substute an associate degree or certificate as applicable.

With a felony, your friend needs to realize his is being held down. There are many things he can't do and have rights too, because of the felony. It would be great if he could go to college and get a degree. There are many good jobs out there, if you make yourself qualified, even if you have a felony . Sounds like he wants to be a bum. Your advice is Great. He needs to listen to you and make sure he walks the straight and Narrow. The safest place for him , is in school,

I think a company would hire a person with a felony if they see the person has made big changes in their life. Also, as the years pass, everyone forgets about the felony. New managers come and go. If the guy with the felony is with the company for awhile, a new manager would not get his old application out and look at it.

you can still get a great job with a felony as long as you get the right education. you just may be limited on the types of jobs depending on the felony.

he needs to study on how to get a pardon by the governor. really this is possible. tell him to look into it. i am a supervisor and i hire and fire people. a felon is one of the first things i look into when considering a new hire. the governor is the only person that can give him his rights and good name back.if successful he will then be able to vote again. he will even be per mitted to own a firearm

He has to go to college. He might find something he loves like working with computer and he can work for himself not relying on someone else. he just cant give up.
