Damn. Both of our local McDonalds' hire sex offenders and pedofiles, and they won't hire you? That seems pretty crazy to me. Idk. I would say the lowest form of a "job" you could get would be like a paper route, or babysit or mow lawns.
Does your state have a local Workforce Development center? If they do, I would go there. Ours helps people look for employment.

Did you have any on you? I was charged with paraphenalia and even got a warrant with that and I got a job pretty easily. Try food places

Just go to the Employment Office. They'll find you a job.

If all else fails, work with the beaners.

So your a felon?  

If not, then you do not have to self incriminate when filling out a application or being asked such questions. Not much to worry about when they say there going to do a background check unless it's a really great job and even then, the job will not even be able to get such information most of the time. Common sense can tell you if the job is a no go or not.

And Mcdonalds, yeah they'll hire you assuming your not a felon and alot of places nowadays may not care if you explain what happen and if it's not some serious offence like child molestation or robbery, so something like a drug offence that leads to a felony charge isn't always going to screw you over.

*So after reading your other post, you have nothing to worry about if it's not a felony offence. Just do not mention it, as simple as that. If they care, they'll seek and chances are they will not waste there time. But I wouldn't doubt that you got caught because some form of self incrimination on your part, people do not get a selling a controlled substance charge because they were high and had alittle Marijuana on them.

At any route, people really need to know there rights and use that right called, "The right to remain silent" which starts once the cop talks\gets there which means it's way before they tell you them. Because in the end, if they got you, they got you because there is no sense in doing the work for them. Cops look for deeper charges and will exploit the law to the fullest and then lie and testify about it in court. It's there word against yours at that point when you start talking when you shouldn't be and start playing the "gotcha game". There not your friends no matter what they say or tell you, because they can tell you things all they want but in the end it has to first get approved by a judge. So the Right to Remain Silent is a major key factor during a stop.
