Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida

My 30 year old son has a 1st degree felony from 10 years ago. He is planning on going to school and wants to be a lawyer. Could he become a lawyer with his background? He has problems finding a job because no one wants to hire him becauseof the charge.
