It makes things more difficult, but not "good luck getting a job." I have a friend who did quite a few years time for drug dealing. After he got out, he got an engineering degree, got married, and has a well-paying job. I think it's more about your attitude: if you seem like a quasi-criminal, people will be reluctant to hire you. In my friend's case, he found God while in jail, which resulted in his complete change in attitude.
- jimmytucson 14y agoHats off to your friend. In my opinion, he's earned it 10 times over. Because I guarantee you it was 10 times harder for him to get that degree than it was for the kid who walked the straight and narrow throughout high school and never deviated from the beaten path. Many kids have a change in attitude when they go to jail. The problem is, society will never change its attitude towards them. Once a felon, always a felon.
