I am thinking about going to college but have a felony what career with a degree in that career could i still?

Question

get a good job felony is for robbery

Answer 1

You can eliminate any career that requires a license. Most states won't give licenses to people with felony convictions. So law, nursing, medicine, teaching are pretty much out of the picture. Try business, or computers or something along those lines.

Answer 2

If the felony occurred while you were a juvenile, you might be able to get it sealed so you don't need to mention it.
If it has been a while and you've managed to be straight since then, you might be able to go to the Pardons Board and get a Pardon. That would also effectively expunge your record.
There are lots of colleges you can get into. There are some career fields that will be difficult or impossible with a felony. Mostly I wanted to suggest the two possible ways of expunging your record. If you really want to start over, this might be the way to go. Good luck.

Answer 3

Just about all college will ask you about your felony. Be honest but dont let your history stop you. Dont hide it at all. If you do, you will look like youre not changing your ways at all when they find out.

Colleges would love to see you leave your life of crime behind you and become a productive citizen.

Pick a career that you will wake up in the morning and look forward to when going to work. Your path will be more difficult than for most folks but it well be worth it in the long run. You can do it.

Answer 4

I don't see any reason why you may not persue any particular path in career. Probably business/commerses would be less favorable, since people may discriminate against past felony.

But in General science, Computer science , medical, maths, arts. They wouldn't care someone commited robbery before, as long as you can show you are already a changed man.

Good luck
