I’m looking into what possible #careers I can invest into as a #felon. My options are obviously limited, but I need to find something. I was thinking into picking up a #trades in the #constructionindustry or maybe something to do with substance abuse #counseling. I’m hoping my record will be expunged within the next five years but until then I need to find something to support myself. Any insight into my options would be greatly appreciated.
