Any NTer's with the big "F" have good jobs???

[yeahitsrust]

My cousin get a felony for mass destruction of federal property and he now works for Northrop Grumman. But he also made those stupid decisions when he was 18. Now that he is out of the military, went to school, and 27 years old he is making 70k plus with that damn engineering degree he got. Hope you can achieve the same bro! Good luck!+

Mass destruction of federal property? Please elaborate...

His story is a little ridiculous in my opinion. But anyways, he played ball for Ole Miss and got kicked off the team for academics and being in a car where one of the individuals had an unregistered fire arm. So he already caught trouble for that but once he didn't play ball anymore people don't help you for anything. Campus police that used to escort players home drunk after they get caught driving under the influence, stuff like that. Well my cousin and his boys were drunk and one of his friends decided to drive them to get food when they were all hammered. His friend was kicked off the team too for a different reason and he decided to do donuts in one of the main lawns on campus. Long store short they got caught, tried to evade police, even after tearing up with lawn and refusing to stop for police they ran into a monument tree somewhere in campus housing. And since it was my cousins truck most of the stuff got stuck on him because he told the cops he was driving because he didn't want his friend to go to jail because he had a warrant out in California and it would have been his third stike.

A string of bad and stupid decisions. But that was a long time ago and he now has his life together and just starting his family. So again, towards OP, you can do it. It just takes hard work and a change mentally.

That's not that bad of a charge. So a lot of places will over look that.

OP you can hit up the Workforce center in your area they put felons up on jobs. But if your looking for something that will treat you and your love ones well I say go with sales and marketing firms.  The right one pushing the right product will take your pockets beyond the ceiling, but your mouth piece has to be on point and immaculate for you to thrive in that industry. 

Like others have said small companies are the lick as well, but there are some big name companies like Nestle that do hire felons.  The sky is the limit whether you have a F or you don't, just with that F you have to put in alot more work. 

You should look into other freelance ways to get money by word of mouth like club promoting.  Get your education on too, because a great education over shadows felony's any day.  You should get some credentials in the IT area also.  It's possible to do all that within 4 years, and guaranteed you'll be sitting on at least a million in ten years.  One thing is essential you have to come off articulate, confident, be well groomed, dress decent, and your convo has to be flawless.  That's the recipe for success no matter who you are or whatever you've done in life those things will make you rich beyond your wildest dreams.
