If your son came to me, looking for a job, it would not so much be the jail time that I would be looking at, but rather the fact that your son appears not to have learned from his first poor decision. I would not want to hire someone who does not appear to learn from his mistakes, and continues to act without regard for the consequences. Your son is young. I suggest that he take a serious look at himself.

I would suggest a trade ( plumbers, electricians etc )seem to always be in demand Good luck.

Yes, they are much stricter. I would most strongly suggested that you engage an attorney immediately. You are facing loss of license and very significant fines not to mention what it will do to your insurance rates.
