[QUOTE="donna723, post: 186062, member: 1883"] Most employers do drug test potential employees now. [U]No[/U] [U]one[/U] would want to hire an active drug user because they obviously couldn't be trusted. A drug user is only concerned about where their next high is coming from. The chances that they would steal from their employer are astronomical, either money or things that could be easily sold to get the money they needed for drugs! And how reliable would this person be? And the risk of them getting hurt on the job or causing someone else to be injured is very high too - a lawsuit waiting to happen. No business owner would be willing to take a chance on someone like that and you can't blame them! If you look at it honestly and objectively, what's really holding him back from getting a job is his drug problem, not the felony conviction on his record! That, and the fact that it doesn't sound like he really wants to find a job! Convicted felons can and do find jobs every day. But none of this will happen ... not a job, not a GED, not pulling himself up off the bottom ... until his drug problems are resolved. I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth [/QUOTE]
