Will it be possible for a criminal like me to get a job in electrical engineering?

Jason H asked:


Ok, I dont know if i should even attempt this as it is very hard to get a normal mcdonalds job for me due to my criminal backround i dont know if i should even waste my time going to college to become an electrical engineer, I take courses in highshcool for it and like it and am good at it.

here is everything ive done wrong
I got a citation for my dog getting loose and dislocating a hip of another dog
animal at large causes harm
i was 14 then
5 parking tickets 16
at fault car accident 17 years old
simple battery 17 years old
criminal damage to property dropped to disordely conduct, because there was no damage done. 17 years old

speeding intemediate 11-19 mph
17 years old

unreasonable and imprudent speed 18 years old
driving while suspeded 18 years old

that time in my life i was going through hell, i was with a woman who was very mean controlling and just made me feel horriable, was allways sad, suicidal

thanks

    I see no reason that you can’t go to school for electrical engineering, there are some kinda bad crimes there but not horrible.

    Well, all the stuff before 18 is on your juvy record and should be sealed (i.e. won’t come up any more).

    The speeding and driving while suspended may prevent you from any jobs that require driving, but not from an engineering job.

    Yes, you should definately follow your dreams and go for the electrical engineering field.

    Just try and veer away from truck driving jobs =)

    Get your engineering degree, you shouldn’t have an issue getting a job.

    Most of the engineering companies that I have worked for do not do a background check because most engineers are not the type to commit a crime.
