[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 700885, member: 1967"] People can find jobs even with past warrants and arrests. The women in my daughter's program have been able to find jobs but they may not be what he wants. They are often warehouse jobs or call center jobs that either don't do background checks or don't care. My daughter worked packing boxes in a warehouse for a couple of months before she found her current job and most of the people that worked there were in recovery and certainly did not have spotless backgrounds. She also worked in a call center while she lived in Florida that she really enjoyed working at. The owners were both in recovery and specifically hired others in recovery. It was a full time job that paid $11 an hour and she was very happy there. Then she relapsed and that was another job down the drain. That company is in Deerfield Beach. I don't know how far that would be from your son but I would be happy to PM you the name. I agree that I wouldn't rush in an help him clear his record. In fact, I am not sure you should do that at all. What will he learn from that? I think my therapist would say to let him find something else on his own and live with the consequences of his past behaviors. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
