Can a convicted felon become a lawyer?  I think they can, but it takes some doing.

Not in Illinois. It runs with you forever - at least in the fields I practice in. Get a felony, and I'm done. Don't pay taxes, and I'm done. Don't pay child support, and I'm done. (I don't have any child support, so it matters none)

I don't know how it works in Florida. I have just applied so I will find out because I need to take exams. I'll start prep for those soon.
So you could work and pay taxes, you just couldn't be a licensed engineer?

There are some jobs you are not allowed to have if you are a convicted felon, even after your jail time.  And for good reason.
Many firms in Finance and Banking won’t hire convicts.    That should make sense to anyone.
In some cases, sure. 

But the way it operates, it basically assures that people who commit crimes will be in more desperate positions when they're out. And desperation creates issues up and down for person and society.

Flip burgers?

Sit home for $600/week?

That seems more symbolic than practical.

Pretend you are a world class athlete in college. Of course that means flipping burgers

Such sass. 

I'm sure there's something engineering adjacent or business adjacent you could do for a solid bit of cash. Likewise, a felon could flip burgers. Or they could work hard, get an AA in an engineering-adjacent field and help society.

just means not allowed by those firms

not by the government

I would guess it would depend on the felony

if the conviction was a bank robbery or forgery or embezzlement, then it's obvious
if it was something unrelated maybe not - Animal cruelty or drug sales

Martha is a felon and she had a cooking show with Snoop Dogg. I'm sure you're qualified enough for that.

And of the two of them, SHE is the only one who has been convicted of a felony.

She can probably pay her probation fees though

Lovely.  Ive crossed frozen ponds to get to my ball even hitting off the ice but not this crazy.  I like how there happened to be a man made obstruction in his way too
