Yeah, unless you're a minor! I think it's still a felony but you go to kiddy court!\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

Of course you can get a job if you have a felony record in Florida, but not with the government. You can not get a job with the government in any state with a felony record. If a workplace does any business with the government they can not hire you or the government will not take their bid for the job. Now when a politician commits a crime they usually just give him a liter charge.

It depends on what state you live in, what sort of plea bargain you work out, your criminal history, etc.

You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

Yes, but you need to go to the court system that the felony is recorded under and plead your case as to why it should be expunged. It is very difficult to do and most people that try, fail.

Yes...depending on what type of work you want to do and depending on what type of crime was committed.

An expunged felony will not be on the public record that any employer can see if doing a work related background check.\n\nIt will remain in the national data base and can be viewed by police officers and anyone doing a national security clearnace on you.\n\nThe report that they can see will even show every arrest even if not indicted or convicted.

Look for your local Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program.  They assist people in going back to work regardless of their income level or felony background (although they do want you to disclose it).\n\nYou can also contact the county welfare office.  There are people who are getting food stamps/cash assistance and are required to work in exchange for those services.  Someone in the welfare office assigns them to WEP.  That WEP Case Worker will be able to tell you where people can get jobs if they have felonies.  Your local prison will also tell you.  They usually have a back to work program and can tell you where they place their guys.  Good luck!

You'll have to use HotJobs, Monster, etc... and just check each companies requirements regarding felonies.\n\nGood luck!

I have a CJ degree also. Right after college I worked at the pardons and paroles office. It's a good job for someone right out of college.

Yes, current law seems to apply only to drug felonies and not other sorts of violations of law. That means bank robbers, child molesters, murderers can get college loans, but someone convicted of selling a small amount of marijuana to an undercover officer would be ineligible for student loans.

only if you insist on working for someone else the rest of your life.\ni used to be the guy with the suit & tie. i got busted at a legalize pot rally when i was 22. the court scared me into going allong with whatever they said. later, i was in county jail, bored, my choice was bad romance books or legal research. i became a jailhouse lawyer & got pretty savy on texas 78th legislature. i stopped including my info on resumes & nobody seemed to care. it hasnt affected me at all since 1998 when my probation let out. i had the  most trouble with day to day life during probation because im expected to be at meetings, classes, service, ect jobs be damned. there alot of cliches but its all excuses to keep me in their loop. my po would revoke because he felt like it saying i was behind on payments or didnt go to a class. ive since stopped asking people if i can work for them & work for myself. not because of my convictions but because its a better life.

No you can't, at least not in most states.  It's illegal to employ a felon in the health field

You can obtain the legal degree, but as a convicted felon, you would not be able to be a member of the American Bar Association(ABA), and most states tend to follow the ABA direction in rules matters.\n  Additonally, it would be extremely difficult to get an ABA accredited Law school to accept you with a felony conviction.  Perhaps it is possible to have the felony expunged from your record.  \n\nSpeak to a licensed attorney to explore the possible avenues.

It depends on the state but most in most states you can NOT work in the school system if you have a felony on your record.\nThis is why they do a background check.

It would depend upon where the hacker entered and location of the computer and the age of the hacker.  There are both federal and state laws, many of which are very complex (see sites below for examples).\nAt best is a slap on the hand and probation.  Both jail time and fines are possible.  At worst is multiple felony charges and decades behind bars with no computer access.  Especially in these days of “terrorist activities” it is possible to be charged seriously for even the most minor offense.
