Royally screwed my life. Is it fixable?
Okay, let me start by saying I know I'm an idiot. I've really messed up my life and I need to know if there's anyway I can fix it through trucking. I had a marijuana problem mainly as a result of having to move 5 times as a child and from being bullied a fair amount which led to severe depression. I haven't worked in 6 years, although during 3 of those years I was pursuing an accounting degree (86 credits completed). I spent these last 3 years helping my parents move, smoking marijuana, and trying to figure out what to do with my life. I quit smoking marijuana 3 months ago. My question is this: If I work for 2 - 3 years what are my chances of getting into a driver training program and how much will 2 possession of marijuana and paraphernalia misdemeanors affect my chances (they are 7 years old at this point)? I regret being this foolish and want nothing more than to have a decent honest life. I appreciate any advice.

Ryan: I called and they were actually in the summer of 2015. One incident only involved tickets so I guess it has actually been been 8.5 years or so. There was only a couple months between my arrest and my court date for the first one.
BK: I'm thinking about trucking because it pays well, would allow me plenty of time to read at shippers and receivers, and just looks enjoyable in general but it's possible I'm not thinking this through enough. I have no desire to smoke weed anymore as I don't think it is conducive to a good life (once I start its hard for me to stop). As for why I don't pursue accounting it's mainly due to the fact that is it very difficult to get your first job in it. There are endless job posting that ask for a minimum of 1 - 3 years experience for entry level jobs. Also, my credit is not very good and apparently they take this into account with accounting positions as they want to reduce the risk of people stealing money, but this might not hold for every company. Perhaps I should give accounting a shot.I'm certain I could finish my degree. I also have no idea what to tell potential employers in relation to my unemployment. I could go with the sick relative shtick but I'm not a very good liar. It probably is true that I would thrive more in an accounting role as opposed to trucking or a trade.
Anyway thank you for your responses.
