    Career with felony
    Okay so I got a possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine. I got a felony or the 3rd degree, I talked to my probation officer and he said 3 years after I get off probation I can get it expunged. But I want to know what I can still go to college for. I'm 19 years old and I wanted to go to college for nursing but with a drug charge I highly doubt that they will let someone with a drug charge anywhere in the medical field only because I will will be working with drugs. Even if it is expunged that type of work they can still see that

    You are correct. You cannot work in the medical field with ANY felony, much less a drug charge. What else interests you? It's possible you could get into drug counseling.

    Many areas that take professional licensing will be out of the question, A few may allow a wavior, Insurance and Real Estate for example have restrictions but accept waivers on a case by case basis.

    What other interests do you have ?
