working in IB, AM, or S&T with an expunged felony

Hey guys, i was wondering is it possible at all to break into IB, AM, or S&T with an expunged forgery and theft felony? little background info, in 2013 i was on drugs and committed these crimes. since then, i completed probation, charges were dropped and expunged and realized i'm passionate about investing. i'm wondering will my past expunge record keep me from working in these fields.
