So here's the problem. At 18 I got arrested for a DWAI related to marijuana. I got four charges: Possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, driving while ability impaired, and driving a defective vehicle.
This was almost 4 years ago now. I've changed a lot since then (mainly the being a pothead part). I'm passionate about the EMS profession, and i'm worried that I wont get hired anywhere because of my foolish teen-lifestyle.
I've gotten through my EMT course, my NREMT exam, and I've even gotten into a local dive rescue team. I'm applying for my state cert but they want a copy of any court documentation if I've plead guilty of any misdemeanor. My problem is that it's going to look horrible on paper.
Does anyone have any advice for me? How do I land a decent job in the EMS field?
This is extremely important to me. Please help if you can..
