Hello,
I am currently studying at Penn State majoring in Accounting with a 3.21 GPA. However, I recently got arrested for possession of marijuana. I am very concerned about this affecting my possibility of employment and eligibility to sit for the CPA exam in the future (specifically in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania).
The charge will be a misdemeanor.
Considering that this offense had nothing to do with money or finances in anyway, and that I did not endanger anybody with my actions, do I still have a decent chance of becoming a CPA and landing a job as an accountant out of college?
