u/Bijoux-You

I've been offered an opportunity to get my optician schooling and certification. I'm excited to get started but I'm afraid of the background approval process and at my age, I really can't waste my time if this isn't gonna work.

I live in a state that requires license and background approval

My concern is that I was arrested 40 years ago for prostition. It was a fluke incident, I was 18, stupid, no family and no money to fight so it was what it was.

I have never been in other trouble and have a perfect record since.

Does anyone have any experience with this and the denial or approval from the state boards new requirements after 2025?

Thank you for any advice or insight!
