What are good jobs for convicted felons?

Anything that involves art. Tat’s and piercings. I mean most people have great skills when it comes to tagging & drawing and its useful in art classes and parlors.

Best thing you can do is read through all the great advice people have already given on this topic.

Some factory work, get a cdl and drive an 18 wheeler or a class b truck. Go learn a trade like welding or a machinist or an electrition. But all to often they are doing fbi background checks now. They can go way back. Any company who ask the question ever been convicted of a felony is discriminating against you. I encourage all none-violent felons to ban together and begine to fight for our basic right to work.
