I made a similar thread a few days ago and am seeking more advice
I was arrested for a marijuana DUI (lol, blew a 0.000). My charges are the DUI, possession, and paraphernalia. They are all my first offenses. I have hired who is supposed to be the best local lawyer for dealing with an issue like this.
My pretrial conference is at the end of this month. My lawyer expects the possession/paraphernalia to be removed, but the marijuana DUI is a bit trickier.
In planning for worst case scenario, I am assuming having to live the rest of my life with all three misdemeanors front and center on my criminal record.
I am a straight-A graduate student receiving a full tuition scholarship. This cannot be taken away from me. If I pursue a PhD at my current institution (and most others, it seems) I would only have to report felonies (of which I have none) and if there is a background check, it is only after being accepted.
So, so far it seems like for the next 1-6 years of my education, these potential convicted misdemeanors will not matter too much. What about beyond that?

not in Ohio. at least not if youre convicted (or if it's reduced). I'm certainly gonna inquire as to if there's anyway I can have this be a sealed/expunged thing in the future.
