Can I go to swift school if I’m paying tickets that I already went to court for?

Did you submit an application to Swift?

What are your tickets?

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

The DUI coupled with the other offenses is going to make it difficult for any company to hire you.

I strongly suggest applying to as many companies as you can. Keep in mind time gap is key for this sort of thing. Stay out of trouble if you want entry into this field.

Good luck.
