Key words: "most people"

I have a felony computer hacking conviction and it is the opposite: I have to turn down job offers.

I have a very similar federal felony conviction that Aaron was facing and have been able to find employment in the software field. It's not as easy as it would be without the conviction, but it's a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. I doubt McDonalds would hire me with my record, but I've worked on software used by government agencies and Fortune 500 companies.

Have you run into the travel restrictions others in this thread have mentioned?
