Conviction

Two years ago when I was in High School I was camping with some friends. Two of them were smoking marijuana and a park ranger caught them while they were at the campfire with us. The ranger called everybodys parents and sent them home except for me, because I was the only one over 18. I got a conviction for possesion of controlled substance since I was the only one being 18. The charge turned into a Class "B" Misdemeanor.

I am a Private Pilot and working on my instrument rating. I have been wondering though...how is this going to affect my future flying career?

I want to find out if I am even going to be able to get a good airline or corporate job in the future before I spend the money to go to flight school.

Other questions are: How long will this stay on my record? And, are there any ways to get the charge removed from my record?

Any input is appreciated...Thanks.
