HELP!----- Will criminal record prevent me from getting Finance job after college?

Question

I am a 21 year old college sophomore.

When I was 18-19 I got into a bunch of trouble. DUI, fighting, marijuana,etc. but since then I have straightened up and began to focus on college. I am majoring in Accounting and Finance and plan on pursuing an MBA after I graduate. Will my past arrests stop me from getting a good job with a bank or finance firm??? What can I do to make up for my mistakes??

Answer 1

felonies?  they're bad news, but not the end of the world.  The really bad convictions in finance and accounting are for theft, embezzlement, fraud, etc. You'll be ok.
