A felon can get any job he or she is qualified for as long as you disclose the fact that you are a felon on your application.  You have to be upfront about it. Hiding it will get your application tossed in the trash.  State reasons why you would be an asset to that company.  Remember to state how you are not that person anymore, and you have been rehabilitated and won't be getting into any more trouble - and then stick to it! \n\nIt is against the law to not hire someone based solely on the fact that they are a felon, but of course it happens anyway. If you get the interview after they read on your app that you are a felon, you have a fair employer and a good shot at the job.  Be honest though so as not to waste your time with a potential employer who would not hire you.  If you get the interview and you're qualified for the job and present yourself in a professional manner you have just as much chance at any job as anyone. \n\ngood luck

My brother got a degree in that area and never used it for that purpose - however - he has a good job.  A college degree and what you do with it is what you make out of it.\n\nGood Luck!!!

Jails don't have wardens - prisons have wardens.  Jail has administrative positions but the top job is Sheriff.  As for other positions, you can be a correctional officer and you can work different positions as a CO.  You can work the floors - you can work transport = taking the inmates to and from court/hospital.  You can also work intake and releasal (doing all the paperwork for the inmates that are coming in and leaving.  If you have a medical background you can work in the medical dept.  There is also classification (to see where the inmates should be housed depending on their medical status or if they are gang related/violent or low risk).  I am not sure if the ID dept is considered civilian or if they are officers (they get the finger prints & photos and forward copies of arrest reports to other law enforcement agencies.   They also have some civilian positions - such as in the kitchen.  I am sure that there are alot of other positions, those are just some that I could think of.    They pay isn't much and the population that you have to deal with can be tough at times.  Over all I would think its a good job.  There is certainly job security in that field!

It depends on what the felony was.  If it was a violent crime (murder, rape, assault), it may be difficult finding a job regardless.  If it was drug-related or a negligence crime (i.e., involuntary manslaughter), it shouldn't be as difficult\n\nGood luck to you.

If you go through one of those larger over the road trucking companies, like J. B. Hunt, Swift, C.R. England, Schneider, P.A.M. Transport, Werner.... they offer CDL training, but you are obligated to work with them for a certain amount of time.  (Do a search on the internet for "Company paid CDL Training", and several obtions will pop up.\n\nNow it is NOT impossible to get a CDL after being convicted of a crime IF you pay for the schooling yourself (like I did).  It's just hard to find a JOB.  There are companies, like the larger ones named above, that will hire people that have felonies on their record, but it has to be a certain amount of years old.\n\nAlso, look at your local resources offered for ex-convicts.  They are out there,just not advertised (go to your local State Employment Commission for that).\n\nContact one of those trucking companies, and also the private owned ones (ones not affiliated with any one company may offer less bias information).  They will give you information also before you invest your money.\n\nGood luck to you both.\n\nLM

Frankly, it depends on the felony and the job.  If is vehicular homicide, that should not be an issue to get a job working in a bank, but could be for a truck driver.  Conversely, if it involves theft or fraud, you cannot get many jobs in the financial sector, but you should be able to work jobs that do not involve significant levels of trust.

It depends on circumstances. Not all felonies are the same. It is legal to be a teacher for some. In Michigan a new law will come into effect this year that no one convicted of a sexual felony can have any job at a school.

Having a felony conviction on your record will no doubt make it harder to get many jobs - particularly in large companies with strict human resouces policies and procedures.  And you have almost no chance at jobs that require a license (like a lawyer) or bonding (like a banker).  But there are many other fields dominated by smaller companies that may never even ask the question and even if they do may not care as much after you've proven yourself somewhat by getting your degree.  Plus there are really good reasons for going to college - like making yourself a better person and able to live a fuller life - other than just having a good career.  And there's always the chance you'll fall in love at school, get married and stay home and raise the kids while your spouse goes out and makes the money!

If you have a felony or even most misdemeanors you cannont become registered for anything in medical, law, teaching, basically all the good paying jobs out there. My fiancee' is having trouble even finding warehouse jobs, and that's bottom of the line stuff. So good luck.

Sociology is a great option! \n\nAny undergrad degree in the arts and letters is good choice if she wants a graduate degree in Criminology.\n\nAs for careers, she can work as a counselor in a correctional facility or a state hospital. She can work as a counselor for a county agency. She can work for the government, be it local, state or federal.

Some schools do offer associates degrees in criminology and or criminal justice.   You could always work at police stations/jails as a  attendent (guarding the prisoners) and you won't need a degree..work for a while and they will pay you to go to school..  Check with your local jails/courthouses and ask them ..They would know more than we would..we don't know where you live or anything about that area.

Be upfront about any felonies and eventually someone will give you a break.  Stay out of the job area related to your felony. For example don't apply at a car dealership is you stold cars, etc. Good Luck!

Any degree will help you get a secure job.  It shows you are dependable and willing to work towards something.  It also shows you can complete things once they get started :)

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