Felony Guide

i have a friend who is stressed and depressed because of a felony that might be put on his/her record. He/she is worried about getting a good job and also being able to get back in college, what can he/she do?

you can definetly still get back into college. I go to Georgia Tech with 3 felonies. But a job is a little trickier but they ARE definetly out there 2 I found one and quit it for a better one...with 3 felonies!

You are not to get Pell Grants for college with certain felony charges on your record. Drugs are one reason not to get them. As with everything else, there are ways around it.
As for a job, I think all felons struggle to find one. It sucks there are people out there looking for a handout with welfare and yet WE WANT TO WORK and no one will hook us up. I guess people enjoy me riding on their tax dollar instead!

I would suggest trying getting them hooked up with an agency in your area that assists people with criminal records. Going to school should not be an issue, however, there are certain fields that he/she may not be able to pursue or get a license for. Also, some companies will not consider people with certain felonies. This can also vary by state.

I know it's hard, but don't become too discouraged. With all problems in life, there are answers out there.
