I never went to jail I just have been convicted of 3 felonies for selling marijuana. I have been an Accounts Payable and Receivable Clerk..making only $13.00 an hr. I want to go back to school for a more stable career in Medical billing. Since I have 6 yrs accoutning experience. Can Someone tell me if my felonies will hold me back in the Medical Billing field. My probation ends in 2009. With the extreme background check there is now adays I dont know if I should even go back to school. Yet I dont want to be discouraged and think I have fallen off the system because of my record. I am 31 yrs old. Never went to jail..just hung out with the wrong ex bf. Anyhoo.. I want a good career change so I hope going into Medical Billing will help me build a foundation..if not what careers are out there that arent too strict with having 3 felonies on your record? Please help.

How in the hell could you have been convicted fo 3 felonies and never done jail time? You must have a good lawyer.
If they would hire you or not would be entirely up to the individual company. If they think your skills are needed enough to take the risk, they might hire you. Personally, I wouldn't.

I would think they would be more concerned it your crime was embezzlement. I would do a thorough check into medical billing before you spend a lot of money - it has mostly been outsourced. Nothing pays good in this country anymore.
