Sounds like a good reason to freelance. Start your own business. Also, many employers don’t know this, but they can get free insurance from the government for hiring a felon. It’s basically insurance that you won’t commit a crime against them or a client. It’s through Traveler’s insurance. You also have a little more freedom if you’re a corporation because the corporation is a person and that person has never had a charge. Just keep up with your taxes and make your annual corporate payment on time. I was VP of an S type corp for 15 years and that gave me reasons for travel and having time away during house arrest, etc. Company can’t run itself, and they can’t strip you of your livelihood.

I’m surprised FAC hasn’t posted this yet. But it is VERIFIED.

The general public will always chose feelings over facts. The disgust and repulsive nature of the label prevents their brains from acquiescing. Society has been brainwashed for 3 decades on this subject.

This country is so hyped up on sex offenders they don’t care about actual facts. I’ve lost 3 Job offers after notifying I’m on the registry. I have a bachelor’s in computer science with 7 years exp in the field the offers were in. They all wanted to hire me until my misdemeanor sex offense that has me in the registry came to light. Registry status trumps all logic in this country.

Let’s keep educating the electorate!
