The answer references Rev. Vivian Denise Nixon, who says many programs have low expectations, pointing them to fast food or service industry. She encourages people to seek higher education, but even with a credential you still have to answer the felony question. She says, Don't go into detail about your offense, just admit you made a mistake and say you're ready to change. But Jesse says, Take any job you can get, be grateful — there's nothing wrong with low-level jobs at the beginning. But most important: Admit you're wrong, and don't listen to Satan in your mind, or his children in the world, who want to prevent you from admitting with no excuses or other blame that you were wrong. Don't be mad at others, at the harsh consequences, not even yourself. Don't judge yourself or anyone else. Knowing you were wrong is like magic, and fixes your attitude. Highly educated people often have the wrong attitude, and still have anger, which hurts them in life.
