hey man sorry about the felony and congratulations on the college...............DONT QUIT SCHOOL.
im not sure about robbery but i know for a lot of felonies if you pay your fines, and go throught all the legal processes that the courts put you through, you can apply to have your felony 'expunged' off of your record, after some time and with good behavior.
check in to it
even if it turned out that you couldnt do that, dont quit school!!!!!!!!!
it will all work out for you in the end
im sure of it
good luck

Do NOT give up! How old were you when you committed the felony? In most states, juvenile records are closed whe you turn 18. Also, employers do not tend to hold crimes against someone if they were done years prior and you've been clean since.
If you give up, you KNOW you can't get the good job with a college education. You will never know if you don't try!
Robbery is not drug use. When it comes to the medical jobs, drug abuse/convictions are more serious. Robbery is another issue.
I suggest you put the past in the past, focus on yoru goals with everything you have inside, and when you get to be a vet... can I bring my dogs in to you? :o)

How bad was the robbery? You must have already did time for it, and you are young, go be a doctor, you mended your ways. The only place I see you having a hard time getting a job would be somewhere that does criminal checks, like teaching or any job with kids, but still you can do it, people will see how young you were and how you turned your life around, good for you! Dont sweat it, stay in school, study hard, and become a vet!! LOL

Does your state issue veteranarian licenses to felons? If the answer is yes, you would not have a problem opening your own practice ( although you may have a problem being hired in an existing one). You may want to ask the judge if there is a way to expunge the felony charge. If you were a minor when it happened, served your sentence and you go through college with a clean record, he or she may be willing to do that.

Most states have a time limit where after a certain amount of years you can have your felony charge exponged. Once it is exponged, it is like it never happened, and cannot be held against you. Look it up on line, ot consult your attorney for more info.
