First please don't take a lot of offense, but you need to take a look at your spelling, that will hurt your jobs app a lot more than a simple possession charge when you were 17.

Did you go to adult court or did you go to juv court?? Normally at 17 Georgia will take you to adult court. Was it a city violation or a state charge?? And of course cash or money order is the only way most courts accept their money.

If this happened less than two years ago, I doubt they will allow you to have it explunged yet, normally they will want it to be 5 or closer to 8 years before the court will do it.

If you did happen to go to juv court it was sealed when you turned 18.

I think after 5 years it can be taken off your record. I'm not an attorney but, I've had the same charge myself and I'm sure that's how it works. I'm also in Kentucky so the laws could be different.
