I guess we're talking about desk and sales jobs. If wage jobs are the subject then Panama City Florida ought to be on that list. The Shipyard here will hire you if you can breathe without gasping and can be trained. Hang around for a couple of years and you will have a trade, welder, electrician, rigger, or one of several other things. Show some aptitude for management and become a supervisor or even a corporate employee. Wages are good in relation to cost-of-living hereabouts and if you, again, hang with it three years you can take your trade to Louisiana or Texas and make considerably higher wages.

It is really good for ex felons. There are many. They learn how to punch a clock, not mouth off at supervisors and get to work on time, keep drugs out of their systems, only drink on weekends- unless they are working overtime on weekends- and, for many, it's a good feeling to get a solid paycheck every week.

I have been a security guard there for several years and have seen how it works. It is the best prison rehab outfit in the country, and they are always looking for employees as their contracts expand. The place is becoming a LARGE shipbuilding company.
