    Look on Craigslist at small ma n pops. You'll run very hard and be paid on 1099 but it'll get your feet wet at least.

    Was your felony state or federal? Not talking about the authority which prosecuted you, but which set of laws defined the crime as a felony. E.g., in some states, multiple DUIs is a felony, but it's not under federal law.
    If it was a state felony, it is possible to apply for relief of disability.

    For something which is only a felony at state level, it is possible to have that cleared, and to have any rights you may have lost restored. Theoretically, it also exists at the federal level, but it receives no funding, so it doesn't happen. The process, I'm not so sure about that... you'd need a consultation with a legal expert.
