I have to respectfully disagree bossman. Being a convicted felon is enough reason for the Coast Guard not to issue a Merchant Marine Officers license. That is federal law. It is in the CFR's. Its also enough reason to disallow someone from becoming a police officer. There are lot of other jobs out there that disallow the hiring of convicted felons. Personally, if I were hiring for an IT department, people who would have access to everything, I would not hire a convicted felon. You cant blanket label everyone but if you have the choice, you should probably pick the person who has the clean criminal record over the person with the felony conviction(s)....that's just common sense for any high security job.
