If he wants a second chance...EARN IT!

Show that you’re responsible. Take an entry level job or worse. Show up every day..on time...ready to work...with a good attitude.

I’ve never been convicted of a felony, and I have done some very very nasty work for just above minimum wage for the money to pay my bills.

Exactly!

I do have a record and did a little time. And when I got out, I had to start all over. I was a construction laborer, a sandwich maker, and did piecework in a factory. I did any job I could, and made minimum wage just about most of the time.

I also went to school at night (paid my own way), didn't spend money on hardly anything, and lived an honest life.

That was 22 years ago, and I haven't been in trouble since. Don't know how others measure success, but I have home, a truck, and a wonderful family. And with apologies to Lou Gehrig, I consider myself to be one of the luckiest guys on the face of the earth.
