No, your stuck with the record for life. I am in the same boat. In 1996 I got a petit larceny conviction and its still there today. I am usually honest about it and so far no one has told me they rejected me for a job due to my record. Why can't it be expunged off your record? Actually you can get it off your record. If and only IF this is your first criminal act. You can go into a program called "Pre-trial diversion". This program allows you to escape jail time, but pay fines/fees, which is worth it in the end, because it gets cleared off your record. And from the day you were convicted, you are under probation for 1 year, and you are to see a probation officer each month (kind of like your babysitter). There are fees in visiting the probation officer. Court fees are also assessed by the judge depending how serious it was. I know this because I am under this program right now, and had to pay $444.50 for court costs, and $35.00 a month for visiting my probation officer monthly, including a $75 fee the first month for the drug testing and paper work.
