I am 25 years old. I had a drinking problem that I have overcome . To sum it up in a nutshell 3 years ago, while drinking i blacked out and spit on a parametic while i was being taken to the hospital. I do not remember the whole ordeal. However i was charged and convicted of aggravated battary. I also have two dui's and a felony for criminal damage to property. I have never done any jail time. I have turned around my life and am now commited to return to school. My question is, what can i go to school for? I work at a hospital as a patient transporter and love working there but i know healthcare is out of the question. I cannot work anywhere where i will be providing a service to another human being directly. healthcare, education, are out of the question. Many job titles also require licensing which would be a road block for me also. I want to go to school for computer information systems. I figure i will be allowed to work on databases and networks faster than being a nurse. Accounting, marketing, finance, basically business degrees are all degrees that i believe i can pursue and hopefully gain employement in after enough time has elapsed since my felony's. Its either continuing my education or going blue collar and working as an electrician or something along the lines of that. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

1. I know several felons with all sorts of jobs. In addition, quite a few have opted for self-employment. Keep that option in mind.
