I am 25 years old and I have made some mistakes over the past few years. I have a DUI, furnishing alcohol to minors, simple assault, and a theft by unlawful taking(petty theft that I did not do, but was charged.) I once was single and was going to community college was doing pretty well even made the honors society. Given my past a finance degree is probably out of the question. I also have a visable tattoo on my ring finger( and two x’s on my knuckles. Really stupid tattoo. My ex wife really messed me up legally and emotionally. SO given my record and tattoos do I even stand a chance of ever finding a good job. I was looking at civil engineering or computer science. At this point i’ll do anything, but those are the fields I have been looking at. So what do you guys think? Should I go back to college and what for? Please feel free to recommend other majors. Which degree should I pursue so I can find a good job? I can get good grades, or atleast average no problem. I’m far from stupid, just made stupid mistakes when I was 21ish. All this happened a few years ago yes. Thank you for your time.
Yes, you should definitely go back to school. Are you a STEM person? If so, you could pursue something in IT or technology. There are also technology related certifications that you can do at a community college.
The simple answer is yes! Go back to school.
Always! Education opens so many doors and opportunities. 
Good for you for going back! You have your entire life ahead of you-- going back to college is a great first step. If you aren’t loving your tattoos, you might even consider tattoo removal. Congrats on making the steps to go back to school and wishing you all the best in the future!
Of course you should try! Going away to school may be tough considering the nature of your crimes, but you have your whole life ahead of you and you paid your price. Don’t sweat the tattoos. Tons of kids have em. Have you considered a trade school? Cheaper and will get you specialized in one area.
