    your birthday is exactly one year after mine. so u were underage when you had the weapon.

    MOst companies will look at your charge and determine from there. Look in the automotive field and be honest about it. You can start on any express lube team. Changing oil is easy. Just Right Auto Sales are all over and they are lenient with their background check. THe entire detail crew and the heavy mechanics i use to work with were all felons. The head of detail tat one location i worked at makes 60k, (high volume location) and he did 6 years.

    I have my CDLs and used to drive a truck, NO company will hire anyone with a felony record unless it is at least 5 years old.

    as far as painting companys, just open the phone book start with the first one and ask if there hiring, then so on and so on.

    Well most of your bigger trucking companies probably will not hire folks with felony records. The company I work for won't. Later, QD.

    Shell station on Tilly Mill. Or, if its closer, get off Roswell Rd and go inside the perimeter, either of those gas stations on the right. You will get temp work, and its not taxed! And each day holds a new surprise, just better be ready to fight to jump in those vans/trucks that pull up.....

    $10 dolla!

    AS I am have beeen in your citutaion in the past I understand. I am currently working on a system that can help guys like us. If you need a lead call me on monday the number in my sig, I might be able to help. QD is wright 99% of comanies will not hire you with a felony on your record. As far as waiting tables you have to get a permit to do that. Your charge does not sound like it will hinder all to much but it is for the rest of your life, i can attest to that. anyway call me if you need help on Monday

    True, I forgot about not being able to get an alcohol permit.

    You may be able to get a job cooking though.
