DUI Job Exclusion

[atticusranch]

I have 2 DUI's (sep 05 and sep 07).
I am currently taking classes to become either a teacher or a social worker.
Will my convictions prevent me from being hired?

I wouldn't count on being able to get a job as a teacher. Not sure about being a social worker.

It may depend on the laws in your state and the restrictions imposed by a potential employer. In California, 2 DUI convictions would not prohibit you from either one.
