I got a felony like six years ago and it seems I will never be able to have a second chance. Is there anything I can do to gain a respectable career?

I do not know what kind of felony that you were convicted.
dangerjobs.com pays well.They hire felons.It will be hard
for you with this on your record.Somehow you need to find
help from organizations that work with people in your
situation.Learn to be a professional gambler...poker, if that
does'nt work.Follow the laws.You will be
pulled over alot and tested.Good luck.

You can actually get a respectable certification. Why not?
Many programs available in community colleges provide that opportunity. Check your nearest adult education program too.
Good luck to you in your efforts.

Of course there is. You can work anywere as long as it doesn't require practicing license such as doctor, lawyer, pharamacist etc. Companies get federal tax discounts on hiring convicted felons. If your charge is non-violent they shouldnt discriminate.

talking to a career counselor at a college or university is free, i would suggest doing that.
i believe the only careers that you can't do involve medical and legal positions but i'm not 100% sure.
good luck

What state are you in? If your in California, there is one place that specializes in helping and finding jobs for people that have been in your situation. It is called PVJOBS. It is one of the first organizations of its kind.

Probably not working for another person. Maybe you can start your own business of some kind. This is my opinion, not that I agree with how things are.

To get a job which pays well, you have to have skills. If you don't have those skills, you may have to go back to school and learn what you need to get one of those good jobs.

depends on what the felony conviction was for

plumbing, electricial ( not all places will hire you but many will)
timber industry, commercial fishing, truck driving ( normally smaller local )
It is harder I won't say it isnt, but like any of us, you just do the best you can.
