Systematic

For some time now I have been looking into having my record expunged so that the felonies that are on there can't be used against me when I go to apply for work. I'd been told by a lawyer that the court costs were between $200-$300 per felony. Well, I called the courthouse last week to get an exact amount and learned that it's actually $400 per felony. I've got several on my record and am looking at over $2000 to have them expunged.

I was thinking that some may affect my ability to be employed more than others, so maybe I can just have those expunged. Either way, though, it's an expensive process. It's amazing how to criminal/legal system is set up and works. I know that, at the end of the day, it's all about a dollar.



Beyond that, I received some great information and leads from a local pastor. Some are very useful towards finding a "regular job" and others are specific to securing a position in the area in which I hope to create a career: filming and t.v. production.

This Monday I'll be attending a job fair as well as looking into some of his leads.
