If I have a felony record is it not even worth it applying for jobs?
After I graduate college my record gets sealed. Should I just wait? Would I be wasting my time applying for part time jobs in the meantime?
I was thinking of applying for a company I already worked at before but am paranoid they will reject me if they do a background check.

I wouldn't give up entirely, but it's a pretty big red flag for employers, depending on the severity of the crime.
Your felony record doesn't get sealed after you graduate college. The two are unrelated. Either you were convicted of a felony charge as a minor, in which case your record was sealed at 18, or you were convicted of a felony charge over the age of 18, in which case you're a felon now and forever.
As for work, it depends on the job and the nature of the felony. What did you do anon?

Na I did the crime when I was 17 in high school. I was arrested for it years later. After I am done with probation it is sealed. I can end my probation early by graduating. so a few months earlier. I should have mentioned that. It was a 2 year probation.
>What did you do anon?
Burglary. I dindu nuffin tho.

Burglary isn't typically a felony by itself. Was someone at home when you did it? Were you carrying a weapon? Resist arrest?

claimed people were there sleeping. it doesnt matter. I will be able to get a job fine after probation is over as it is getting sealed. I just want a job now.
