FunAdvice Advice from: maxtonj http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/maxtonj en-us Re: Where can someone go to find jobs for convicted felons? Please stop with the excuses!! Man UP! Step 1: Wake up everyday before 7am minimum. 2: Don't watch TV until you find a job 3: Learn a trade, go to college, apply for an apprentiship: most unions don't even do a backgroup check. I know a felon working for the sheetmetal union in NV making $33/HR, w/ free health care and a pension after 25-years of work. 4: Learn a trade and open your own business. If getting licensed is out of the question you can always have your wife get a business license and you can run the business for her. The bottom line is you can either use every second of this day doing things positive and open your eyes to all the possibilities; or you can sit in the corner and let life pass you by while you continue to lie to yourself that you can't get a job because your a felon. That's the line lazy felons use who just want to stay home w/ mommy for a free ride. You have a choice and you can still have a good life if you want it and are willing to work for it! maxtonj Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:42:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/where_can_someone_go_to_find_jobs 71464
