Thank you for your response. After reading many of the other responses it is nice to have this perspective here for other posters to see -- because it is very real to me.

This is essentially what someone like me encounters every time they try. It's a really unfortunate part of my reality and other posters should understand that it's not simply "just a felony" -- not when equally qualified applicants do not have any "issues" like this.

You're welcome. Internet advice is rarely very good, for a multitude of reasons.

FWIW, I feel bad for you and wish you the best.

Aweee, don't feel bad for me. NBD. People like me are really good at not failing. I'm measuring with this thread before I make a decision to do something. Internet advice as a collective unit of measurement is still useful and valuable. It is a sin to ignore useful information. Every little bit helps ;)

I've also found it incredibly difficult to ask google this type of complex question. So I posted it here instead.
