    Can I teach community college in California with a felony on my Record?
    Can I teach community college in California with a felony on my record? The charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor in 2 years and then expunged a year later - but the question is can I teach college now? Does it depend on the charge? There were no drugs, money, alcohol, or child abuse involved. I need to get the teaching job NOW. I have already taught for 9 years and would like to continue. Its what I went to college to get my MA degree for and it devastates me that I may not be able to continue with the career that I ALWAYS wanted to do since I was a kid. The plea agreement was better for me than to risk a trial and potentially get a prison record that could not be expunged. Should I give up and jump off a bridge?
