So I am going to plead no contest to an underage consumption of alcohol charge against me, and in the state of West Virginia I will get fined $235. Of course I see this as a hazardous result to my future beyond the 235 dollars. I will have on my record a misdemeanor (granted nothing very serious, but a criminal offense nonetheless).
My questions are mostly around my intentions of studying law, and of course the fact that it is in West Virginia, a place that I have no intention to ever return to after school.
Should I worry about future background checks for jobs?
Is the possibility of becoming a DA, or a judge now entirely eliminated?
If I chose another profession, should I worry about a background check result (considering I will most likely be in New York...)
And lastly, what other impending result is there of having a misdemeanor, are they permanent?
Thanks.
