    Is engineering a good career choice for a convicted felon??
    Hello

    I'm a young man who happens to be a convicted felon. My charges were Possession of an uncontrolled substance and weapons under disability in which I served a 3yr state prison term. Since I've been released Ive been looking to restructure my life and return to college. I have found it extremely difficult to find a major to study because I don't want to waste government money that I will have to pay back on a degree that I can not use once obtained. I have always been great with my hands, and as a child I used to disassemble and reassemble household appliances just to see how they worked. My family has always suggested I pursue a career in engineering but before I decide to take that step is there any hope in this career field with me having a record?
