I'm filling out job applications, and they are VERY SPECIFIC about ANY and ALL Tattoo's showing.

even the company that I work for does not allow visible tattoos... if they are visible, they need to be covered.... long sleeves in 110 degrees no thanks...

I think that is why there are SO many tattoo joints in the valley. Otherwise, where would the ink crowd work? We have a tattoo shop in the casino where I work. You can spot the people who work there from 100 yards away. Seriously.

Kind of hard to miss the tattoo dragon running the entire length of the girl with the bright orange hair from the ankle to the wrist. I won't look down my nose at the people who get into this. But I think it's a waste of money. In addition, the ravages of time eventually are going to make that dragon look like a squashed snake. And it seriously limits job opportunities.

(Can you imagine what our nursing homes are going to look like in 50 years time? "Well, that tat used to be a buffalo. But then the liver spots came in and now it looks kind of like a cheetah.")

For felons who are on the straight path an option is to go online and find one of the Multi level marketing or Network Marketing companies and grow a business buy selling products and or recruiting others to sell the products.

Hey you have to do what you have to do and some companies don't care if you have a record so you can just get on the net and sell the products and if people like the products you can sign them up on your web site.

That being said some companies may not allow convicted felons to join their company but some will. As I said you have to do what you have to do especially if doors are closed to you. Sure many people fail in the industry, but on the other sde many people are making some good money. Just do some net research and I wish you the best.

An obscene amount - something like 95 percent - of people who do MLM don't make enough money to cover the amount of product they're forced to buy every month. I'm all for doing what you have to do, but you might as well have a shot of making some money. As I've said before there are a ton of inside sales gigs. That way at least you've got some money coming in. Of course there's still upside with the comish.

Yea aggro I know the failure rate but with that being said when a persons back is against he wall and the bridges are on fire the mindset is to become one of the five percent. There are some companies that don't require an autoship yet with that being said that's the way money is made with some companies..Do what ya gotta do.

Get a student loan, and go to cooking school. Kitchen's have been know to be accepting of people with background issues, as long as they can pull their weight.

Have you heard of elance.com? It's a jobs board for freelance computer work. (do your due diligence though!) That having been said, have you looked into moving into another area of computer work? How about "Big Data" or "NoSQL"? You can find free training for both online. This area of database work is new and hot. Remote work opportunities are possible. Do you think you can swing JAVA programming? (not javascript)

What would Dario Herrera do! :-)
