A large percentage of employers now conduct background checks on job applicants. A misdemeanor on your record can prevent you from getting a job and limit your employment opportunities. Additionally, licensing requirements for many professions include good moral character among the qualifications. Despite educational accomplishments, a conviction may mean that you are denied your occupation if you are a physician, lawyer, nurse, teacher, architect, accountant, police officer, physical therapist, professional engineer, veterinarian, pharmacist, or other professional requiring a license.
