Keep working on your degree, give it some time and try again elsewhere.

I had a friend who had served in the USMC for 8 years and applied to come work at the smaller rural sheriff's department I worked for. He had one prior arrest/conviction which was for taking an undersized abalone. My agency at that time told him no thanks and told him no one would ever hire him with that on his record so he should either go back in the service or keep falling timber. He was hired by CHP about 5 months later and has worked there for over 15 years now.

I can't imagine being not allowed in law enforcement for an abalone violation........I think I would have a laugh at that one if I were doing his background.
