Felony job market

I have a burglary felony, now I know that sounds terrible but the story is not that bad. My fatther and I had a gun collection. I was trading and selling guns with him. One day he comes home and finds that there a couple missing. He calls the cops...

and reports a burglary,before ever asking me. I get arrested for burglary. My dad goes to the DA and tells him what happened and says he wants no charges pressed against. The DA says that if he doesn't press the charges the state will. I get five years, serve two and I have now been out two years. I have a CDL and good work history with very good references but it makes no difference. As soon as people see felon thats it, no job for you. What is a guy like me supposed to do. I have two small children whom I can't even provide for. I mean I get work but nothing long term, I can't buy my kids health insurance and we're on food stamps. It's embarrasing and degrating. I want a good life for my family but no one will give me a chance. What am I supposed to do?

It's hard to find a job with a felony, but most blue collar jobs will hire you. Oil Fields, Construction, Painting, some Plants.
