Not My Story Its My Friend's... She Need Advice

Okay 1 and a half years ago I was arrested for trying to sell drugs. I was released that same day but later that very next day I went to the place I use to sell drugs just to tell my best friend I don't want that life I am going back to my lame homebody life. When I arrived my best friend and her guy was arguing about my friend being a bad girl friend so I trued to calm things down by inviting my friend boyfriend to come talk to me in his car. So we got in and he tried to drive away but before he could we heard yelling and saw guns. It was the police saying we need to put our hands up. We listened and they took us out. They searched the vehicle and found 12 pills and 2 pounds of marijuana. Remind you I never knew any of this, I spent 2 months in the county until being forced to take 2 years probation. The young man got nothing and he had a criminal record thats pages long yet I got more punished and I did nothing wrong. Now I'm on probation, I can't get a job. Nobody trust me and in employers eyes I'm a risk all because I'm a "felon". Before all of this I worked and attended college. So I ask of you guys what should I do? Please Please Please don't judge me

There is nothing your friend can do at this point. A felony closes a lot of employment doors.

There are felony-friendly jobs out there and there are various job search sites out there that cater to felons. The jobs aren't the most glamorous, but they are better than nothing.
