I work at a local community college. We have all types of people who come in to further their education or learn new schools. In fact, some community colleges offer jobs to former inmates (depending on what you were convicted of). My recommendation is that you return to school to get some type of training. Community colleges offer everything from mechanics/autobody, to business degrees with emphasis in construction, biology, welding, aircraft technician and so on.
Be careful with career schools, many charge thousands for what community colleges only charge hundreds (few are regionally accredited, which means certificates and degrees will not help you get a job or move up). At my school, it is not unusual for us to have students who have recently been released. I haven't met one person that regretted coming. No one is perfect. Don't let your yesterday, destroy your today and tomorrow. Get an education. Meet with a counselor as soon as possible. There are some programs that take less than a year. Don't give up, keep looking and you will find your way. Good luck

Start your own business.
It's not easy, and it isn't simple, but it's easier than you think, and as simple as making the decision to do it.
If you shine shoes for tips, and don't have to share them with anyone, you are free. If you make $200,000 per year and someone can tell you to bark like a dog if you want to keep the job, you aren't free.

holding a job as a construction worker is a good way to build up some credibility if you're just getting out of jail.

Find a job that no one else wants to do. Garbage man, janitor, etc.. Your employment opportunities shrink up after obtaining a prison record.

Home based businesses are becoming more and more popular. There are top executors walking away from their JOBs to gain freedom. They are wanting to capitalize on their people skills, contacts, expertise, experience and knowledge.

THERE ARE PLACES THAT WILL HIRE YOU BECAUSE THEY GET PAID FOR HIRING PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PROBATION AND PAROLE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE BAD HANIS CRIME YOU SHOULD GET HIRED NO PROBLEM. WHEN YOU ARE FILLING OUT YOUR APPLICATION AND IT SAYS HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY YOU MARK NO. ALWAYS MARK NO. IF THEY ASK YOU IN THE INTERVIEW THEN YOU CAN TELL THEM WHAT THE OFFINCE WAS AND THAT YOU WANTED TO EXPLAIN. BUT THEY DO NOT LOOKIN TO IT IF YOU MARK NO. THAT COSTS THEM MONEY.
