My advice is STOP ASKING THIS QUESTION. If you CAN'T do that, see a psycologist as the inability to let go of a single thought can be a sign of several serious but treatable mental illnesses.
Like I've said every time I've answered this question, stay in school. The jobs for which you need a college education are far more inclined to overlook a felony if you're good at what you do than those that do not. If you stay in college, and you work hard, you're past will cause very few problems for you in terms of starting a career. If you have a skill that they need, they'll hire you regardless of your past. You just have to be better at what you do than all those other guys who don't have a felony on their record. If, on the other hand, you drop out, you're just one more drop-out with a dirty past. It's not hard to find someone else who can do whatever it is you want to do just as well who doesn't have a criminal record. People respect people who overcome their past. So stop asking this freaking question and just stay in school.
PS. Watch the TV show House (on FOX) - one of the doctors on there had a felony conviction before college.

it'll only affect your financial aid, but thats not a big deal. go ahead and finish and put the felony behind you. chances are it won't be a big deal in whatever field you pursue.

don't worry about it....it can get expunged if you try....if you didn't do it....you should have not been convicted...but it goes that way sometimes...Find a better lawyer than last and try to get it expunged and tell no one about it...concentrate on school and get that degree
