Hello lori:

Being a felon myself, I've NEVER found any felony friendly jobs. Indeed, if it was just my FELONY that they looked at, I NEVER would have found work... But, I managed to convince some employers that they couldn't survive without me. Being convinced of that, they looked beyond my felony. That's exactly what you need to do.

Of course, I made sure that I interviewed directly with the boss first off, so that they had NO CHANCE to reject me based simply on what was written. I also made sure that the position I was seeking required no professional licenses that my felony would disqualify me for.

So, the only career I WOULDN'T seek, would be one that I couldn't qualify for. The rest is up to you.
