Default How Horrible Is this for A Future Lawyer?

I'm a 2nd year student working on my undergraduate, I want to go to law school, is it over for me...should I change my major after I'm prosecuted?

Last night I got busted...I urinated on a building and the "campus police" somehow saw me. They asked me to stop. I did not stop. I got a Deposit of Human Waste (18.06, (47)), a 2nd offense Underage Alcohol Consumption (125.07, 4,b) and arrested for obstructing an officer, statute number 946.41. I never even took a breathalizer, I refused to do so without probable cause and argued that the reason I fled was because I knew the officer had seen me urinating publicly.

Lawyers out there please be honest with me: Should I think about changing my major? (are the chances of getting into law school slim even if I have a higher than average GPA and LSAT score for the respective school?)

I can't exactly afford counsel and being a full time student without a car currently (I will have a car second semester which begins in January) makes it even worse. I can't really hope for a defense on the misdemeanor (obstruction). What should I do in terms of the misdemeanor charge, is there any way to avoid prosecution through a "bond" or deal? Isn't their a way to pay extra to avoid this being on my record? Or should I just pay everything off and say good bye to my future career and dreams?

[arrested for obstructing an officer, ]

That could keep you out of the State Bar--hire counsel and have them try to negotiate a deal to keep this all off your record.

Does anyone know if this is actually true?
