Large corporate and government jobs are probably not available to you now. But, you can work for yourself as a consultant or contractor. There are pros and cons to being self-employed. Many people find it freeing, but maybe a bit less stable.

Criminal convictions just limit your job options. They are not a life sentence. If you have paid your debt to society and follow the law now, you can still have a great life. And, I hope you do.

Edit: I would also encourage you to never lie if asked about the conviction. If you lie, people will know and they won't trust you. Never lie about it.
