Generally speaking, no. However, you say "charge", not "conviction". If you were not convicted of the drug charge, you can go to the Court and file a motion to have the record expunged (destroyed). If you get your record expunged, it is like it never existed, and you can work in the Crim Justice field.

Yes. Employers can use any legal criteria for hiring they choose. You are not a 'protected class' because you are a convicted criminal.
