This question keeps getting posted over and over again by the same person under different aliases, he uses the same verbiage (hence the ability to dtermine aliases).............Ignore him and maybe he'll go away!

A felony will hurt your chances at finding a job, but believe me not having a degree will hurt your chances tremendously more. When looking for a job after college, you could always try to explain yourself in an interview, but with out a degree you won't be able to get anywhere. I speak after having friends not go to college in similar situations. Stay in school.

keep going... how long was the felony... altho they do ask on apps... just because you have a felony doesnt mean you wont get hired.... some jobs, like law enforcement, however, REQUIRE no felony history, unless its a requirement for the job it may be more difficult but not impossible

Having the felony makes it more important for you to continue in school. You can prove to those would consider you for employment that you can finish something you start. You just need to make yourself more employable so that people overlook your felony conviction.

I'd like to encourage you.
You know, the years pass by so quickly, before you know it this will all be just one wrong choice you made as a 'kid'.
Just work hard at where ever you DO decide to work to prove it to yourself (& maybe them, if they even KNOW about it) that you ARE deserving of a great opportunity...I know that might sound funny, but sometimes when we do wrong things, we think we're not worthy & can sabotage our ownselves (!!). But do your best & I think with the passage of time & your good efforts you will be rewarded!
Don't give up, when you look back on this, you want to know you did your best!
