If you get a petty thief misdemeanor expunged in California then can you still go into education or research such as a teacher in high school or a professor in college?
Also is it true if you stay out of trouble for 7 years after your conviction that the background check in CA will not show your past conviction?
I was also wondering if anyone had any stories about their experience for job hunting after they got their conviction expunged. For example, were employers willing to listen to your story about the conviction and if people were still able to get jobs in the professional fields?
