getting a job

I need to know this also

I just have a midemeanor from 10 years ago, and I have only had 3 interviews out of 150+ applications and 8 months of searching. Meanwhile my fellow classmates are going through jobs right and left. I helped a lot of them get through school. Seriously.

I think schools and the various Boards of Nursing aren't being honest with people for financial reasons. I had an attorney tell me flat out I'll never get a job in the health field. I, of course, did not want to hear that; but, he is proving to be a prophet.

Actually, it is not just nursing. Another attorney told me that employers are now looking at misdemeanors the same way they used to look at felonies. I cannot get a job at a convenience store for minimum wage, either in my state of Indiana. Also, expungements are no longer allowed here.

The only way I know of getting hired is to marry the D.O.N. LOL This should be addressed on a National level. My relatives in Germany say it is not like that over there. They call the U.S. a "police state." This kind of stuff really makes one wonder. Essentially, in the current climate, the responsible thing for society to do would be to incarcerate anyone convicted of anything. I am not being funny.

Once one has met the requirements of the court, one's debt to society should be paid in full. To cattle brand a person for life and deny them the right to work is not a mark of a civilized society.
