Nothing, that was my point. For OP it would make a lot of sense to found a company / consult / etc instead of working _for_ a company, to get around his felony.

The part with "worthless advice" was about the whole "oh, also be successful and happy" thing.

But it's not, IT/programming has no downsides, just dive into it and it's awesome.
