So if you get a criminal record is it truly over?
Talking about felonies not misdemeanors.
I can't imagine waking up one day in your late 50s being forced to work some dead end blue collar job and with no hope for any pensions/retirements.
Because if you're a serious felon. People can't trust you
>dead end blue collar job
Hey, beats wageslaving.
Blur collar work. (Real blue collar work) is absolutely dreadful.
I can't imagine the suffering if you were forced to do it in your 50s. Id rather do some teaching or something where you can breathe mentally and physically
>So if you get a criminal record is it truly over?
No? Why would it even matter?
>Blur collar work. (Real blue collar work) is absolutely dreadful.
>I can't imagine the suffering if you were forced to do it in your 50s
In your fucking 50s? You're kidding me right? I know plenty of dudes in their 70s and 80s still working blue collar jobs
>doing hard labor 8 hours a day breaking your back in the hot sun is better than relaxing with intellectually stimulating work in an air conditioned cubicle and a comfy office chair
Some people don’t know how to use computers
Just reading that, I dont think the criminal record was her problem. Sounds like a lot of emotional shit paired with it. Like if yoh have a criminal record ans its in the past, thats one thing. If you have it, and youre still.carrying around a visible attitude, youre screaming "Im still a problem".
>forced to work a dead end blue collar job.
I have a university bachelor, Ive worked a lot of jobs, including middle management, left it all for skill trades. Its fun, stress free, i make 6 figures, I dont work like 4 months of the year (i had a baby this year, looking at more like 6 months off. Obvi I wont break 6 figures, but, this is fully an option to me and I wont starve). I work wirh great people, some among them ex cons, some other uni grads, some middle of the road folk, natives, hs dropouts, and just some dudes who wanted to work with their hands. Its a good job, were a brotherhood, we dont care wbo yoh are or where you came from, just that youve got a good attitude and you work. So dont do tbis "hurr im doomed to a dead end blue collar job". Only if youre fucking retarded are you gonna get stuck on a shitty back breaking low paying job with no advancement.
Oh and
>no pension
My current pension contribution rate is $7.50/hr. And again, I work with people with criminal records.
Eh I've known people with cushy jobs that had criminal records.
i would TOTALLY hire felon scientists if you can help me farm govt grant money are you fucking kidding me
discount mad scientists that pay for themselves
do you have a business card?
Does that incluse civil duis? Because I managed to sweep the criminal charge under the rug through court diversion but It still exist on my record as dismissed.
People don't trust felons because they're stupid enough to get caught, and society takes their rights away to vote for the same people who commit felonies, but then you gotta play the fool once again as if you didn't learn a thing in the School of Hard-knocks.
yeah most felons ive seen in my moom line of work basically have zero optiona and just have to work the only jobs that will take them like department stores or maybe some fast food places. felons are a huge no no in almoast any company as a face saving stradegy
no. it depends on the crime and the job. for example, fraud might fuck you out of a finance job. fuck some kids? probably not working in a day care anytime soon. some jobs you're not getting anywhere near if you've even had a blemish, like some government roles

People have no idea how hard it is to go through hell working your way through an advanced degree only to find how delicate that job market is and how easily life circumstance can totally screw it up
In the US, you're pretty much shut out from a great majority of opportunities if you have a felony on your record. That includes housing options as well as employment.
Yeah its fucked up. its part of the fucked up prison system and how they have ulterior motives, such as they actually want to increase recidivism.
I have a record myself, even though I done nothin wrong and only did a moral thing. Hopefully one day will get my record clean. Sometimes I get paranoid of getting rejected cause someone found my record and doesn't understand what I done was a moral thing.
I've been publicly exposed and shamed for being a serial homewrecker and I didn't let that stop me from finding fulfilling work with Unicef. I've even worked with convicted felons in that organization and we still trust each other with our lives. Where there's a will: there's always a way.
