I’ve got a friend that went to prison at 17 and released 27 years later at 44. It’s tough. There are thousands of barriers to reentry. Housing & jobs are limited when you are a felon. When he went to prison, cell phones were barely a common thing and smart phones dominate life.
I’d start with a job that didn’t care about my record and go from there. Family business tends to do well. My dad owned a security business that hired anyone that didn’t have a sex crime and I worked for a restaurant that did the same. Restaurant even went for murderers.
i will look for a job that doesn’t judge me with what i did in the past, it’s been years and I will be a changed person. i will leave cheap, learn trading and continue to work hard coz that’s how we survive
The only door that closed was the corporate job opportunity where you need to get a degree, references, etc. you have every other opportunity to build something for yourself. Arts, a business idea, write a book, trade-school job, etc. it’s not the end.
