felony college?

Question

i have a felony for robbery i am now 21 and a freshman in college i feel like giving up school because i think with a degree i still wont find a good job with a felony am i right to think this can istill bcome a doctor the felony is for robbery i would like to become a vet

Answer 1

I'm coaching my ex through school. He served time for a felony sex offense (he's my EX for a reason).

The hardest part for me right now is to convince him that all is NOT lost, and that earning a degree will be valuable to him in the long run.

I admit, there will be obstacles. It will be extremely difficult for you to get into medical school with a robbery conviction on your record. Likewise, you will probably be ruled out for veterinary sciences, the Bar exam (although law schools will still take you), and other professions that require you to work closely with clients.

Like I said, the hardest part is convincing yourself that all is not lost.

But go to school. There are still jobs out there that need your skills and will hire you. I'm guiding my ex towards research. He wants to work in genetics research and biotech (before that, he wanted to be a dentist, but he can't with a sex offense on his record). He dropped out of the university (one of the best in the US, actually) we were attending. But as a drop out, he is entitled to return to the university despite the conviction.

I'm telling you all this because it's the real experience I am having now. It's not a simple answer, but I can only encourage you to persevere. If you are currently on probation, showing a good effort to turn your life around will make you look real good to the law enforcement people who are tracking you. Don't give up.

Answer 2

I think it could be possible. I've heard of several people who are convicted of a felony, get their education while in prison, and go on to be professionals, a lot of times because they had a revelation as a result of the conviction.

If you had crimes against pets (abusing, or, EW, beastiality or something), it could possibly affect your chances of becoming a vet.

In general, though, if in the eyes of the law, you've paid your debt to society and are no longer a threat, most of the time, that won't be much of an issue.

You do need to be straightforward, though.

Answer 3

If you are a felon and want to be a doctor may I suggest a specialization in proctology.

Answer 4

you'll have to prove that you've moved up from that. Learned from your mistakes.
