She should consider working for herself. That way she doesn't have to answer to anyone.

She most likely will be able to get the charge lowered to a misdemeanor or something, which is at the discretion of the court. Imagine for a second however, if she had a federal felony on her record, there would be no way to get that expunged unless she received a pardon from the president.

Felons are stigmatized for the rest of their life, even after they've paid their dues and done their time. If the crime is victimless (and a first or second offense) the system should lower felony charges to misdemeanors automatically. Sadly, this doesn't happen.
