    Hello hart:

    No, not really. However, it's been my experience that it's about 5 times harder for an exconvict to find a job. Therefore, you're going to have go to about 5 times as many interviews as those who are not feloniously challenged, such as ourselves.

    If you DO it, you'll find work. What?? You thought it would be easier??

    PS> OR, in the alternative, you could go into the surgical technician business, and contract yourself out. In your marketing materials, you don't have to tell 'em squat about your felony.
