We didn't need that level of detail, and we can't help you.

Tend bar, drive uber, or deliver Amazon. Accept that your crimes have you set you back for life, and a white-collar job might be out of reach for many years.

My ex can't afford to have the kids on her own. She doesn't make enough for all the bills. They need me to provide for them. But I won't be able to provide for them and my own rent on a McDonald's income. And I won't be able to keep a McDonald's job if I'm homeless. So the only choice I have is to do everything I can to find a job that pays what I need. Even if it's utterly humiliating.
Then she needs to go on welfare until you get on your feet.
Seconded. Shouldn't have done the crime if you weren't prepared to face the consequences.

Even if you were to start your own company, someone would dig up this information and use it to drive you back to square one. Like parent comment and many others have echoed, white collar work may not be in your line of sight for years to come. If I was you I'd start practicing with a spatula or a shovel.
