I really have no problem making money, but its kind of rediculous that I put all this work into a degree and because of actions that have nothing to do with my work ability I wouldn't be able to get a job. I've worked since I was 18 and enjoy working for what I have. Its frustrating.

one is attempted sales and another is posession of a deadly weapon in a car. Someone I knew got in trouble with police and convinced me eventually to buy some coke off of him and he would help me sell it. I had just moved into a new apartment and it got raided and the found the stuff since I couldnt really sell any of it. I had a kitchen knife in my car and the police called it a deadly weapon

Hire a lawyer to explore getting your record expunged or sealed. And for fucks sake stop doing stupid shit and get new friends who aren't degenerate drug addicts.

>> No.1667114

What are your felonies for?
How old are you?
How much debt do you have?
What experience do you have?

If your felonies are violent crimes or theft, then you might as well give up on the traditional job route.

Your degree is worthless if this is the case, as no one will ever hire you above min wage. Your only option here is self employment.

You can spin drug related charges to being young and naive and how you've matured from it

Nothing violent, I've never messed up before or after this incident. I have no debt and I have 3 years experience retail, 1 year as a CNA and 6 months as a day laborer. I also helped my friend out building up his business. I'm 24

It'll be years before I can get my record expunged. In the interim I'm just hoping to be able to use the diploma I've worked 4 years for in at least some capacity. I'm a musician and I make pretty good money as a street performer but theres more to be made from a business degree I feel

Your situation sucks, but they don't see any of the details on a background check.

Your only chance is lots of volume. Apply to as many jobs as possible and refine your interview skills.

Be upfront about your convictions at the end of the interview. 99% are just going to immediately bin you, but you only need one good one to make the exception.

pretty much what I would have expected. I could have went for a computer science degree, they couldnt give a toss about backgrounds in start up companies. I think I'll just stick to street performing and selling my body to science for a couple g's. Something will come along.
