My problem is I have a criminal felony record and all my 3 convictions was in the past 18 months, the most recent one was only 4 mos ago so I cant say “it was as long time ago I am a differnet person now.” And it makes a employer paranoid of hiring me. I hope that if I go to school and get a education that it will give me a better chance at getting work.

I have no idea the class that I should take with my tuition voucher, though. I need to pick a career that would not care if I got a record or not. If i go for the wrong thing It will be pointless becuz I will get the certificate and still not be able to work becuz the employer wont hire me b/c my record. I need to find a list of some good careers for felons to work in, where background checks is uncommon, or they dont consider it a big deal if you are a felon. I know that the construction industry and restaurant industry is good for this but there is not 1 year certificate programs offered by the school that I can go to. I know that I am banned from the medical field, but I dont know the other type of jobs that refuse people with records. If you could suggest to me any career field you know of that is good for Felons and dont care about criminal background please make some suggestions to me.

Also if you have any ideas of who i could contact to ask this to please reply. I called a college counselor and they did not really know a good field for me to enter. Even if you dont know a good career for a felon , if you do know a good person or orginazation I could talk to, to find out , that would also be helpful too. Thank you in advance.

1) I heard there were some people who actually stayed, is this a fact or just a myth? Was it just people from Prypiat or Chernobyl? approximately how many stayed behind?

2) Were there people that had been left behind on purpose or for some safety reasons other than the ones that refused to leave?

3) Can exposure to radiation cause someone to subside into a long or at least short coma?

4) What are the known effects of radiation on the residents of both Prypiat and Chernobyl?

5) And about the liquidators, how long was it before they were sent to clean the place up? was it just on chernobyl or were they sent to other contaminated places as well?

6) Where did they send the evacuees during the evacuation?

7) How long did the evacuation take?
Other than prypiat, what..
(continuation)

…other places were affected by the fallout?

9) Were people allowed in with some sort of special documents?

10) If there were people who stayed or went back for some reason, how long did they last?
Did any of them survive?

11) And last but not the least. Were Geiger counters widely distributed or sold after the accident? If so, how long did to take before the geiger counters started to decrease, if they did?
I almost forgot.

12) If people had stayed behind, how was their lifestyle? How did it go? Did they live like everything was in order?
I found some helpful details on my first question. Some people in the “Zone of Alienation” were reported to have stayed, they were called Samosely (self-settlers), they were people who refused to leave and denied any negative effects on their health due to the radiation. I don’t know if that includes Russia though.

1. What is the minimum time I have to wait before I take the test? Is there one? I would like to take it as soon as possible. I’ll take it next week if I can.

2. Can you get a job with a GED? I need to get a part time job, I don’t care where. Will employers hire people with GEDs or do they look down on that? I’m talking jobs like McDonalds and Wal-Mart here.

3. Can you get into trade school with a GED? It is my goal to become an MRI technician, which my grandfather informs me takes two years in a trade school. Will such schools accept GED graduates?

Please answer my questions and please no links I want answer from you!

1. Which online school is reputable that most employers hold in high regard?
2. At the end of this year, I will have 58 credit hours, will these count towards online programs?
3. If you are currently or have already pursued an online degree – what was your experience & with which school? Did it allow you to easily get a job?

Any suggestions are helpful.

PS (don’t have to read this) Also, I am going to schedule an appointment with my academic adviser, but I’m afraid the person will be biased. And I’ve thought my decision over a lot. The only school near me with a grad program in psychology offers only one in counseling with a K salary locally – with a masters, that is too low. I have prior commitments to this area that I am not willing to sacrifice to move for this career.

Thanks everybody!

I had a ct scan done about a month ago because my headaches were just so intense. The ER department said I shouldn’t be worrying about anything. There was no tumor, no bleeding, no injuries. I’m scared that after this MRI they’ll see something they might have missed.

Hypochondria is messing up my life. Just 2 days ago I thought my dog had rabies because he had foam in his mouth. But he’s still eating and drinking water after all his walks. Dogs with rabies foaming at the mouth usually die within days and they are very aggressive and i guess they lose their appetite. his mouth mostly froths when we go outside. He loves going outside and gets toooo excited! but he has never been bitten by another dog or has contact with other dogs he is very shy we’re working on that. but I assumed that because his mouth was frothing he had rabies and that i had it too and that explained my headaches and all the problems i’ve been having.

SIGH. I’m just trying to relax. maybe tomorrow I can tell the psychiatrist. I don’t really want to take any anti-anxiety medication. but i need help. I can’t be afraid forever. and all this just started after I started working at a hospital and had to quit because I thought I’d get everything my patients had and thats why they enforced precautions. I’m always thinking everything is a conspiracy. I need a shrink.

It is written in journal form, about a woman’s life before and after she finds she is dying from cancer. The woman is pregnant in the beginning of the story and has a boyfriend she met at a picnic, but he is not the father of that child. I remember a line in the book saying something like “she never felt as connected to (her boyfriend and child) as being a family, as when she slept with the boyfriend while pregnant”. I can’t recall if she marries the boyfriend b/c they were against marriage or something much to the chagrin of her family, but I believe he adopted her daughter as the father was out of the picture. When she discovers she has cancer she undergoes chemo/ radiation therapy and is chastised by a nurse when she unknowingly tries to breast feed her daughter. A young woman neighbor ends up helping out with the baby and housekeeping when the narrator is too weak to do so. And the book ends with entries about how the narrator knows the neighbor is sleeping with her boyfriend, but she doesn’t care b/c she has grown to accept she is dying and believes the neighbor would be a suitable replacement for her as a wife to her boyfriend and mother to her daughter.

i wanted to reread this again while in highschool but the school library underwent a renovation and everything was re-arranged making it harder for me to locate it (i knew the original location of it but not the title). it’s been bugging me on and off ever since as it was a good book….plus it irks me i can’t recall the title.
