im so mad. I cant even get a job mopping floors :(
I'm so sorry, maybe there is another field you can look into, like medical billing/coding so at least its in the same field you are interested in? Not sure, but is there a chance if you talk to your school and explain to them what happened they let you take the classes any way? Or maybe there's another school that doesn't care about past offenses? I hope something works out for you!

:( nearly impossible, is not impossible. I have a friend who had the same issue however, he had multiple felonies. He went to school, graduated, but he was able to find work with smaller businesses, larger companies tend to have "policies" to prevent people with a record getting a job, but with a small company they are more likely to hear you out and be simpathetic, GL!

Thabk u. I will look into medical billing/coding. If I tell the school my record and they are nice enough to still let me take the course. Its going to be nearly impossible to get hired at a job with my record

A lot of companies will hire someone with a record but it all depends on what the record is. I worked for a company doing tech support before and because I had to access the customer records and they had ssn in them they wouldn't allow anyone with a identity theft or related charge to work there but there were lots of people who had minor criminal records. As long as what you were charged with isn't related to the field you want to work in then its not too hard to find a job.
But a domestic charge will cause problems with a medical field. You have to work closely with people and since your record says you were violent towards another person then most places wouldn't want you to work there.
You can still go to school and do all kinds of things but you may have to look into another field.

Probably not.

Do you think medical billing/coding will be a problem? I figured not because im mostly going to be on the computer and doing paper work. But I may be wrong
