Check your area for gigs as an electrician. My younger brother has ag robbery and assault, same problem with jobs. Electricians use their own licensing system so if you can get apprentice work and keep a job in I think 3 yrs you'll be a journeyman and that'll trump old felonies with a lot of general contractors or smaller electrical companies.

Dude restaurants don't give a shit about drug tests and felonies.  Finding a good chef to apprentice under is the hard part and you'll never make more than minimum hourly (unless you're just awesome like me) but if the front kicks tips back to the kitchen the extra 5 - 10 dollars a day will at least cover your weed and alcohol habit.

Maybe not a cigarette habit if you live in a state with a high tax on it.

Also, believe it or not, small time grocery stores will look the other way at your record. Big corporate ones like safeway may not go for it but the smaller Red Apple and IGA's and Nathan's and other independent grocers won't care.

I had a felony conviction of Intent to Delver and I've done well for myself in food service.

Thanks elastical. I did apply at a small grocery store in my area when I was looking for work. The manager had to have a large stick resting in his colon. I saw his face change when I told him about my convictions. It does sound pretty bad when I say it out loud. I was convicted of (attempted) assault on law enforcement, felony eluding, reckless endangerment, and grand theft (auto).

One of my felony friends has had better luck on the job hunt than I have lately. I have a misdemeanor on my record. According to my felony friend, anda  more reliable source (walmart and home depot human resources personal), a business is more likely to hire someone with a violent felony, than someone with a drug related misdemeanor. Fuck me I guess. I've had 2 temp jobs in the last 2 years that didn't even last a month each. Shits rough.

I'm not saying it's right...

But statistically people with drug charges tend to show up to work under the influence more.

What boss gives a shit if an employee goes home and beats his wife as long as he shows up sober and able to comprehend?

The largest journal of human resource management published an article showing the people who were already employees, and then flunked a drug test, had higher ratings on their last performance evaluation  than the average ratings of employees who didn't flunk a drug test.

    I don't think they differentiated for what drugs were screened, and I also suspect that controlling for age would show some effects.

That may be totally true but I would never tell that to my boss. Especially if I hadn't worked with the company for more than a year.

Your performance will always speak louder than words.

OP. Don't forget, wherever you go you will need to learn. Keep your cup empty because you can't fill a vessel that's already full (east asian analogy.)

Being able to drop to your knees and admit you know nothing is sometimes the most powerful ability you can have.

I was just told by an employer I interviewed with that I have a "Red referral" on my background check and thats why I can't get hired anywhere and they can't tell me what its for. WTF is this shit?

Ryder, that sounds unusual. I would like to know what it means as well. I hope that's not happening to me too. I don't have drug charges.
