all i can think of is network marketing - no one ever asks their Avon lady if she was a jail bird.
maybe personal training? please spare me lectures on the judicial system. but actual suggestions are truly appreciated.

okay, i see that i didnt explain myself well enough. with this question i assume a few things.
1) the person will have little to no skill (marketable and social)
2) GED at best
3) let's say adults over 25
4) let's pretend the crime committed doesnt matter
5) lets assume true intent to make a real effort to succeed in the face of much adversity.
there must be something more than janitor.

The best answer would be what suits you best. What I mean is you can't go to the bank and become an Investment Banker if your background is in Customizing Cars.
What do you like to do? If you like construction you should follow that path, as you normally would. I would not let the conviction stop you from seeking out the career path you desire. Sure there will be some areas that you will not be allowed to indeavor, depending on what the conviction was for. For example you couldn't be in child care if you had a conviction for something along the same lines.
What you should do is first consider what makes you happy. If you can find that, you are ahead of 90% of the poplulation in the workforce today. If you like construction, follow your heart and learn a trade in that field. Same with anything.
What you should first do is ask yourself a few questions.
Do you want a long term stable employement?
Do you want to work for yourself?
What do you love to do?
Can you make a living in that indeavor?
I think you already know what you want to do. You just need to pursure those dreams, get out there and make it happen. You have access to the internet so you have the whole world at your fingertips.
Ask and you shall recieve. Good luck in your ventures and welcome back to society.

Check with your state's re-entry program, your parole or probation agent, if any and other community resources.
The key is to convince a potential employer that you've turned the corner from your past and are sincerely looking for a new start. Construction, manufacturing and customer service are 3 key employment areas. Working with children would not be a good idea even if the conviction had nothing to do with children.
Network marketing sounds like something where one could get arrested again; so stay away from that field.

there is greater money in the pornography marketplace so i think i might might desire to assert porn is the single to decide for. you may desire to do philosophy once you're 60 in spite of the undeniable fact that yet may be pushed to administration that age in the porn marketplace except you have been doing relatively professional and slightly stressful porn. Why do no longer you start up in the porn marketplace and once you get too old flow into philosophy? That way you have the adventure of the two.

Well, maybe you could do community service, as in like, be a sponsor or someone that could help others through their problems. I can't think of anything else.

That really depends upon what the conviction was for.
