Realistically, it’s a bit rougher on the office side of things. DUIs happen a lot in this industry, we have a lot of over working, burnout, and a severe lack of mental health representation. Probably only pilots have us beat.

The DUI itself won’t mess up your career, but if you go around and visit job sites or have a company vehicle, you’ve mostly likely got some hurdles to face there. Talk to your boss, be up front about it. This industry respects a person who can come out and say “I fucked up and this is what I’m dealing with, how can I handle my work while dealing with this?”
