finding an engineering job with "deferred sentencing"

<p>OK guys this has been bugging me for months... I am an electrical engineering tech student who's set to graduate in a year. I have about a GPA of 2.2 and some or little exp in the field. I recently got into some trouble with the law involving VERY small amount of marijuana. Charges were intent to sell, money from sales and paraphanelia.. I was completely innoncent of all 3 charges, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but I couldn't afford a good lawyer at the time because i was paying so much to attend school and was very scared of the DA and their racial court room and was terrified of being convicted and snatched away from my son for a long period of time. So i decided to just take the plea deal to avoid those things. I hate that i had to do that but all i could think about was my family. In this case will it be very difficult for me to find a job in the field? what should i do in you guys opinions or am i forever screwed ?</p>
