I have a felony cocaine charge
I want to go to school and be successful in life. I'm going to ask a community college representative for advice on how I can do anything that makes at least 40,000 a year. If I get the degree will jobs really even hire me? Regardless of my degree, is it possible?

What you are going to have to do is ask the c.c. rep if the school has a career office (most do), and how helpful are they in placing grads of the various programs. Some community colleges knock themselves out and others barely try.
Using drugs can lead to theft, plus there's the whole drug use problem, so I'm not sure which companies/organizations will be eager to hire you. And from my own experience with friends and family, a community college grad doesn't just walk into a $40K a year job, especially not in this economy.
Would you be interested in started in starting a business? Then you'd be your own boss and have no one to answer to.

Yes I do want to have my own business. I want to have my own plumbing business or get my own mechanic shop. The thing is in Virginia I do not think you can own a business if you are a felon. I'm not like a chronic drug addict I'm a 21 year old father of 1 who has made a mistake and have been convicted of this felony today. I have no clue how to start my own business, but I am extremely eager to learn how to do that.

Then, check with the state to find out if that is true, that a felon cannot own his own business.
Is it possible to move to a different state eventually?

I will find out, and it wouldn't be possible to move if I'm on probation right now and I wouldn't have a job in that state. I will find out what I can do though thank you for your help.

You can own your own business and be a felon, but even if that state did not allow, you just move. Guess what to be successful in life, you often have to move, or adjust your life.
Next the issue with some business, like plumbing is that they require often several license, and those license may be restricted.

Illinois Plumbing License Requirements
Those individuals seeking a plumbing license with the Department must fill out a plumbing license application 30 days before the exam date and pay the required fee of $100 for in-state applicants or $125 for Chicago and out-of-state applicants. Applicants must be U.S. citizens (or in the process of declaring citizenship), and have been employed as a licensed apprentice plumber for at least four years. Successful completion of at least two years of high school or equivalent is required, in addition to an approved course instruction through a college/university/trade school. If a plumbing exam retake is required, applicants must complete the retake examination form and submit the $100 fee to the Department.
