@David Jackson Get into the trucking industry. I have my CDL and make six figures annually literally doing nothing sitting at the ports. I have also been to prison for attempted murder. You can clear a TSA background check after 7 years of not having a conviction. If you are interested I can explain the steps on how to get a CDL.

Hey @David Jackson, šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

I've been looking for job opportunities for Jobcase members, particularly those who are incarcerated. CDL is one of the terms that appeared in every YouTube video I watched. You have the opportunity to earn decent money while traveling, which is ideal for anyone who is incarcerated.

@David Jackson, it would be helpful if you would complete your profile and include your existing work skills and a bio telling us what you're good at or what industry most interests you.

There are many jobs felons can be hired for. Some jobs are Union, such as electrician, carpentry, welding, masonry and HVAC. Many companies offer paid apprenticeship to promote training and certification.

These are stable, good paying, high demand jobs. I recently posted about this and am providing a link to that post below. Within it is information about apprenticeship and a video link.

Other felon friendly jobs are in construction. Felony Record Hub has great resource information and more can be found through our Second Chance Resource Center here:

I hope this is helpful.

Description Of Duties at Yale Alumni Schools

There's nothing "white collar" in anything like computer programming or sitting at a computer crunching numbers? That's all I'm qualified TO do and all I can physically DO since my STROKE, people. This is looking like I'll NEVER work again short of things I can't physically DO.

Until it is done, it will remain undone...

@David Jackson, the most stable profession to enter after a long incarceration is going to be different for each individual depending on their skill set, their experience, and sometimes their education.

It sure would be nice if we could step back out into the free-world right into the perfect job, a one size fits all opportunity, but it just isn't like that.

Reentering society after a lengthy period of time being ostracized we have to take whatever we can get to begin with. We aren't in a position to be choosy.

And as far as stability goes, the security of any job depends on us and our actions, work performance and reliability. That employer that hires us is also looking for stability in his or her business. How does that business owner reach that stability? She or he depends on us, the employees for that peace of mind.

If a business doesn't have a dependable staff that shows up every day to perform the tasks they were hired to do, that stability is going to be much slower to come by. So in answer to your question... How stable are you in your abilities to treat that job as if it were your own business?...
