I'm well on my way to an BA in Accounting and I hope to be a CPA eventually.? But from my past...?

bad credit and legal problems. I'm an alcoholic in recovery and I love being sober and I love college and I love accounting. In 2001 I got a cl D felony DUI. About that time got myself into bad debt. In the years since then unpaid debt has been added to my credit history and my score is about 510. Will anybody hire me as an accountant (in a couple of years) with a nearly 10 year old driving felony and bad credit that is going unpaid for now. If I do get a good job I will consolidate my $12,000 of unpaid bad debt with my student loans which have not defaulted. Then I will work on improving my credit and paying off my debts. But I need the good job first. I am good at accounting and I will p the CPA but I'm worried that nobody will hire me.
