Be me Graduate HS in 2008 as white male Single mom, no dad, no relatives, no money No jobs, need money, want women and power start selling weed buy nice car get busted 9 pounds of weed go to jail
9 years later complete probation years ago law abiding hard working citizen become retail manager, get fired for background become uber driver, get fired for background apply for federal aid, get denied for background apply at any large company, instant denial
move to colorado to work in weed industry get denied bc background
technically have clean record but will be felon for life
start own company. if you're up to it, it's the best option.
Gabriel Collins
well your first mistakw was selling weed, but no going back on that, you were just a kid.
but why would you move to colorodo in search of work in the weed industry if you have a felony record? was it not obvious to you that it would be a problem?
id say look into physical blue collar work. they tend to not care about drug use and felonies as long as you get to work on time and work hard all day.
Landon Sanders
dude, just live off your privilege like the rest of us
Benjamin Wright
have done this
became a welder, fabricator, limo driver, iron worker, construction worker, gutter cleaning
all pays 15-25 an hour
nobody will give FT work, benefits or salary after a year or two at company bc criminal record
Anthony Foster
Fucking bullshit, you did you get hired as a retail manager and uber driver then get fired? They either know of your criminal record beforehand or somehow you haven't informed them in which case they have every right to fire your stupid ass. I'd say it's more likely that you're just a lazy piece of shit and thats why you got fired and can't get a job
Ryder Murphy
>technically have clean record No. Also, go into business for yourself.
Elijah Adams
>what do pol? join the rwds, wee need people like you, with nothing to lose, to bash in the skills of commies and all these faggot protesters.
Joseph Wood
while on probation living in different state, it didnt appear on background checks will charge was pending. gt hired at 35k a year to be liquor store manager, year goes by, complete probation, they move me to another state, run new background check, shows up this time, I get fired.
Same thing happened with uber, applied while on prbation, approved, then moved state, completed proabtion, they ran background check again, denied, fired.
I currently work 40-60 hours a week making 15-25 an hour, just wanting an opportunity to make real money
John Gray
Learn Spanish then go to home depot parking lots, then when you have enough loot, go to South Dakota and work in oil, then take that money and buy penny stocks and invest in forex, then live off of the Interest from your first million, then move to soCal and buy a home on the shore and retire happy.

Justin Long

Tyler Flores
technically i do, the state courts expunged my records.
problem is, we live in an era where private companies save data every year.
Bush got arrested with coke and nobody found record of it bc 70s.
today nothing is lost, even if your record is clean
today you get a DUI at 18, answer for it in every interview until you die
Jace Phillips
Join a motorcycle club.
Anthony Ross
Tried this, got denied bc background, they don't accept drug felons, even with expunged clean recoeds
Gabriel Nelson
Sell weed and coke bro.
Youre fucked now anyway. Make enough to do it legit in Colorado.
Sorted.
Owen Garcia
Yeah you're pretty much fucked if you have a felony conviction.
I have a totally clean police record, a degree from a good university (computer science), 4 years experience in my industry and good professional references. I get declined for every job I apply to.
Colton Rogers
tell me about it, stupid fucking feminist anti gun cunt, my mother
left town at 18, still don't talk to that dumb bitch
she has 15 cats, quite literally, lost custody of us to CPS at 12 for a bit due to so much cat piss in the carpets
stupid fucking single mothers
Ayden Rivera
EXPUNGE! I think it's 7 or 8 years and you can expunge most offenses from your record. Requires a lawyer though. Hope you dont live in Cali
Lincoln Sanders
Are you black?
Henry Price
Become a fag? Hell no
Carter Bell
have tried and will continue trying
started limo company started online company selling flash drives started t shirt company started gutter cleaning company
still have success with shirts
flash drive price margins to small now w alibaba
gutter cleaning i need insurance so i stopped
any suggestions?
Elijah Bell
rwds?
John Turner
>start selling weed
well there is your mistake
go to Massachusetts or California or Maine
but you will need actual skills just being a weed hustler isn't much of a skill these days
Ethan Reed
Be an entrepreneur and start up your own company. Selling weed as you did was a sign that you have the ability to create your own worth. Don't rely on others.
Josiah Nguyen
I got this done
problem is private background check companies like checkr do sweeps every year. So even if it is expunged in 2014- current, checkr shows the employer the charge and probation period before the expungement. truly no way to get away, felon for life, even with expungement.
Tyler Russell
>Sell stuff on Ebay.
fuck ebay because niggers buy things there
>today nothing is lost, even if your record is clean
they can lose your records and you can scrub them, but it costs a lot
Robert Ramirez
What are you even complaining about? That's not a bad wage.
Jackson Turner
no I am white but I grew up with no money to single mother and no father figure or relatives.
turned 18, had nothing, met someone who was driving a black on black CTS at a show, back to his crib, shows me 20 plus pounds and over 10K in cash.
Fell right into it. dumb mistake
Ian Flores
If your records really are expunged, take the civil service test. Private companies will always try to protect themselves from criminals.
Joseph Barnes
>gutter cleaning i need insurance so i stopped
fake the insurance, also first tip when you get into business don't tell anyone but your customers. don't involve the city or the state, you could make bank as a boiler install guy who does work without pulling a permit, you'll consistently be able to quote lower prices, you need to get a member of local law enforcement on your install team,
you should join a fraternal organization and build up your status.
but be honest about all your past convictions
Ayden Ross
I'm sure if you called these nice gentlemen "fags", they would thank you for the compliment and offer you a motorcycle ride.
Lincoln Reed
>Fell right into it. dumb mistake
you should have joined the Army first, you could get a degree then join the Army, if you're not too old
Jeremiah Perez
Join the army.
Ethan Morales
god those fruitcakes again
Juan Torres
whats in cali or mass or maine? I lived in LA fuck that hell hole
Nicholas Gutierrez
it's a slave wage I want a house and a family and health benefits and vacations and shit if I am working 50 hours a week every week every year
Thomas King
Got a reliable pickup and a buddy or two? Junk removal.
Liam Morales
So on a average month you make $3000.
Is it that bad?
Julian Flores
Man the fuck up and get a job in the real world. Machine shops, welding, plumbing, and other well paid trades. Tons of ex cons do mans work, and you're not as likely to find pencilnecked white collar fags afraid of someone trying to make an honest living.
Go to school for welding, get into a fucking union, or similar. Avoid big soulless companies and HR idiocy and find small blue collars shops.
Gavin Rivera
You should've petitioned Obama for a pardon when you had the chance, dummy.
Hunter Reyes
what kind of fraternal organization?
David Sullivan
Move to a state that legalized. Seriously, around here people don't care at all about pot charges anymore.
Easton Rivera
Army won't take drug felons, even after it's expunged. I went into the recruitment office, had a recruitment officer look into it for me. Hard no from all armed services. It is not an option
Jose Fisher
>start selling weed >buy nice car that's where you fucked up
David Bailey
this is good advice
Ryder Mitchell
Rob your dad
Connor Jackson
>what do pol? sell weed, but this time be low key, and a non retard how do you get caught with 9 pounds of weed. fucking noobs
Ian Howard
am currently a welder fabricator - nobody will give me benfits or slary bc background also done iron work, have done the real work
Caleb King
yes
Henry Garcia
>want women and power >start selling weed >buy nice car Rookie mistake
Nathan James
This is the wrong place, unfortunately. Most people here have no idea how is life of a convict and will just give piss poor advice. You're better seeking a parole officer to ask whatever you need.
From what I can see, though, you are just not satisfied with the kind of jobs you're getting, because they're not developing into a career. You should just save money and keep trying to start your own business. You may not become rich, but you'll wont get cucked by your employer again.
Benjamin Powell
Come to Europe, amerifriend
Nolan Diaz
Funny, I did just that. Moved to Cali, now living in Denver.
Tried getting job at pot shops, so you need to get badge from state. state rejected me bc background.
Got paid 25 an hour on contract for andriod app development, company told me to interview for ft position, never heard back after consent to background check - found work in blue collar fields as iron worker and welder, but that wont make me rich
Ryan Peterson
my mother is a crazy women, after her third divorce, she went into the docs office and got aritifically inseminated. this is back when it was anonomous donors. so legally, i will never be able to find out who my biological father is. his paperwork was shredded 25 years ago
I quite literally have no father
Christian Sanders
Go Canada and apply a job in the weed industry. Best of luck.
Leo Turner
>found work in blue collar fields as iron worker and welder, but that wont make me rich You're a scumbag. Go into sales.
Luis Price
obviously what you are doing now isnt working
question: do you vote for all elections?
are you politically active?
what political group are you aligned to which wil remove your barriers of success?
it doesnt seem to be republican or democrats
Grayson Hernandez
we dont want any smelly americans coming to Canada. We are hoping that Trump builds the wall on the northern border as well, to keep them all away from us
Adrian Rivera
be me at 18 take bus into town bc no car less than 200 in bank account apply for jobs at 9 an hour bc 2008 get denied by all get job for 7.25 at sandwich shop
need to pay for my own health insurance stop paying bc no money need money for phone stop paying bc no money

thanks obama
go from making 5K-10K a month to shit jobs with bosses and dress codes
shit jobs still 9 years later
Nathaniel Perez
you do realize that politicians are aligned to political groups, and politicians have the power to remove barriers from citizens or legislate to them assistance?
Josiah Ward
You do have a father. The Father in Heaven
John Harris
In a very similar boat.
I have two felony charges.
My only option is to more or less continue the same path but much doing so much more wisely
>Grow indoor, whole sale most product to key buyers >Invest profits and other product into delivery business with friend under friend's moms name. >set aside a small percentage of profits to build equity in daytrading and/or brokerage accounts
It's not very easy for us anymore but its possible.
Daniel White
repent for your sins boi should of thought about your future before doing stupid shit.
Dominic Flores
Then start working 80 hours a week or go to school faggot, sorry you didn't pick one of the $150k/yr jobs from the foot of the $150k/yr job tree
Chase Phillips
If all else fails, there's always NEETBUX. I see you've paid into the system for a while, so you might be able to get SSD if you figure out a physical or mental ailment. A good disability lawyer is paramount, and getting harder to find (Binder & Binder just went bankrupt, a leader in disability litigation). If the system wants to fuck you, it's time to fuck them right back and do nothing and get paid for it.
Jacob Foster
life is about risk versus reward
it seems that you got both the risk and the reward on this one
well done
Colton Bennett
this is the current plan, saving up for a home so I can airbnb it, house prices are crazy tho
Zachary Bailey
>a society can be judged by how it treats it's prisoners
things will get better for you. Get a skill and be the best at it.
Noah Bailey
If you want to be a high rolling drug lord then go do that again, no one is stopping you. In the real world it's a slog
Liam Bell
No haven't been able to vote until 2 years ago when I was officially expunged.
I am somehwat active, I voted for Johnson since he is CEO of a weed company, if any president were to help me that'd be the one.
I vote in local and state when its related to weed or job access.
As far as I know, there is no political group fighting to give felons a chance at white collar work and a clean record
Hunter Williams
muh Trump is a racist but our country has a citizenship test that makes you proclaim western values.
gtfo you stupid leaf. Trudaeu let all the foreigners buy all your property yet? I swear by 2020 Vancouver and Montreal will be Chinese territories.
You shit on the US but you vacation here 3x a year and have looked into US citizenship dozens of times in your life, especially while waiting for the doc to call you for weeks for an appointment
no current politcal group or politician is fighting to help felons get into white collar work
sure equal pay for women, but what about former felons?
Brayden Williams
When you say graduated as a white male, did you have to study for that?
I don't know how the United States education system works but we don't need certificates for that over here.
Christopher Diaz
The catholic church in the 90s called A.I a sin and not real children.
At one time, many catholics and christians considered me a product of science and subhuman
Only recently has the church decided to take a favorable light on A.I
Jaxson Ward
work in construction/renovation.
My family member has done some jail time and he is making comparable money as I am doing at my office job.
Noah Thompson
thats the point, start the group, Im sure there is more than 1 smelly felon american in the United States
but I am sure l Libertarians political base would agree with background checks not following you for life, or for none violent or sexual offenses
Xavier Jackson
I'm glad you're fucked.
Nicholas Morgan
I grow indoors and do wholesale, pretty easy here in CO. I get 6 plants in flower mode legally, can yield hp per plant with 1000w LEDs,
what kind of delivery business?
I have capitalone360? What do you daytrade on? I just throw money into ETFs annually
Nathan Wilson
Underrated
Andrew Hughes
> be me > have ambition > grew up dirt poor > learned how to weld > made some moves > own multiple welding shops > I'm 22
y'all pucci boys can't do shit on your own. Fixed income and resumes are for cucks. You're gonna starve to death wanting vacation days and insurance and shit nigga
Gabriel Nguyen
What future would have had w/o the felony?
Sometimes I wonder - even with a felony at 19 - I had 25k in cash and 2007 nissan maxima paid off - had been to all 50 states - not sure I regret it
Austin Thomas
be a working slave or debt slave? no thanks.
Ryder Sullivan
never got a cent from the govt in my life - not starting now - i will make my own path and earn my own way
Nicholas Martin
I dont know if this would work for you but comments in their thread some suggest it may work others not. May be worth looking into.
a multibillion background check industry BTFO by one free reddit thread?
Go fuck yourself if you honestly belive this shit works.
I'm a 6x rapist and murderer but thanks to this free reddit thread I have a clean record and am now seargant in the military... derp
Jonathan James
if you were not sentenced to prison and your charges were "wobblers" (which means they could have been charged as misdameanors) in California you can have the charges reduced to misdemeanors and dismissed via a 17b reduction and 1203. expungement. Will pass all background checks save government ones...
other than that, your options are limited, i was charged with multiple felonies including wirefraud, comp security act of 86 etc etc ( when hacking, phreaking, carding, werent such a big fucking deal! lol) Through good lawyering, inept tech ignorant cops, heavy handed cop, thieving cops, feds too busy to care, i got it all pled out to and convicted of felony receiving stolen property. Did county time, got booted from a University, CA campus. Had 5 year probation, wasnt allowed to work in tech sector, construction was only option. Got felonies reduced to misd. dismissed via 17b Have worked construction ever since, now a 10-99 consultant for large s&p 500 reit, make 125k you will have to work twice as hard as everyone else, the government hates competition to their crime syndicates. they will fuck you and hope you give up. dont.
be humble, work hard, learn a trade, i have seen fucking mexicans come here with nothing and buy a house in 6 years. but they fucking work constantly, i did all kinds of side jobs, there is always money in construction, but you usually have to start at the bottom. get busy suck it up www.recordgone.com is a good place to start.
Ryder Myers
9 lbs. Was the charge trafficking? I got caught with 2lbs but first time conviction so after probation deal i only got charged with misdemeanor. Reading your story makes me feel lucky as fuck.
Dominic Morales
Wyd professionally?
Levi Cox
You were doing gooduntil you talked about Android apps. I've been in the industry for almost 16 years and I've never once heard of someone getting denied for drug charges in software dev. They simply just don't give a shit. I know at two people currently working at very good software companies with heroin and meth selling convictions.
You're either telling stories or getting denied for reasons that have nothing to do with a drug charge from 9 years ago.
Austin Brooks
every job you apply for, every university you apply for, every internship, discriminates based on two things in the USA, race and gender.
3.0 GPA female, applies to engineering program, accepted!
3.5 GPA male, applies to engineering program, denied
