Now that he's free, can Zimmerman make a living?

(CNN) --" His trial's over. And now it turns out that George Zimmerman might need the same thing millions of Americans are looking for: a job.

As Zimmerman and his legal team mounted their defense, they convinced people across the country to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to help him.

Living expenses, bodyguards and expert witnesses were costly, they argued on websites set up to raise money in the case.

So what's next, now that a jury has acquitted him?

For the 29-year-old Florida man, the financial picture is cloudy. Critics have already accused Zimmerman of profiting from the case. Will the donations keep pouring in? Will he win a monetary reward in his defamation lawsuit against NBC? Could he cash in on his personal story with a book or movie deal? "

Before he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012, Zimmerman had studied criminal justice. He applied to become a police officer in Virginia in 2009, but was rejected due to bad credit, according to testimony in his trial .

Even with more money in his bank account, that career path shouldn't be on the table anymore, an expert told CNN.

"That is the absolute worst thing you can do," said reputation management counselor Mike Paul. "It might be your old passion; you need to find a new passion. And it needs to be helping people in a very different way -- a way that is much more compassionate, not just involving law enforcement."
