Felons cannot generally work in the higher responsibility (and, by extension, the higher paying) jobs due to a number of reasons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These positions include a Doctor (MD) a Nurse, or any position which would require the individual to perform medical examinations. This obviously closes the field of positions that are available to a felon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the felon has committed a sexual or physical abuse felony, they will have almost no chance of entering the profession.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As medical professions are entrusted to help the public every day, those crimes tell prospective employers that you do not respect the people around them. This is especially true for crimes such as rape and murder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a doctor or nurse will have to carry out a number of procedures that could have life or death implications, the trust that can be placed in them is of utmost importance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Crimes that have also related to theft, fraud, or general dishonesty and deceit can cause long-term problems.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a doctor, you will be dealing with substances and medication, which can be highly addictive and could command high prices on the black market. If you cannot be trusted not to steal for your own benefit, you cannot be trusted to work with these substances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Medicine is a high-value industry as well \u2013 with huge amounts of money being quoted in bills and transferred in insurance claims, there is ample chance that corruption could creep into the day-to-day trade if they are not careful.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As such, it is unlikely a felon will be considered if they have a history of fraud and deception.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
