What is the name of your state? NY

I have to go down to the police station to voluntarily turn myself in for a misdemeanor. Since this is my first offence I will now have an arrest record.

SO my questions are, now that I have an arrest record, even if I plea it down to something lesser, will I be screwed if jobs check my history and see I had an arrest?

Can i count on having trouble with obtaining a professional job?
