Most high paying professional employers are less worried about appearance.

Sorry, but appearance does indeed matter and going tribal with head gear will make getting through the corporate door more difficult. Is what it is.

Also, I'd bet there is a direct correlation with those who do that and what their likely path is.

I can see the computer/software industry being more tolerant than the corporate tax/business world. In engineering (civil consulting at least), you will NEVER reach the higher pay grades as they require face to face with clients and clients are usually very conservative people.

Yeah, he's basically a real life Sheldon Cooper. Unfunny, socially awkward, and way to smart for me to ever understand what he's talking about.

I dont have ear gauges. They look frickin retarded

Do you realize that they don't give a frick about your opinion? And the choices others make shouldn't matter to you.

Maybe not, but if my taxes are paying their unemployment, welfare, food stamps, section 8 housing, etc, etc.... then their choices DO matter to me.

That creeps me out

I judge people that have visible arm or facial tattoos. That they obviously are not quality decision makers.

But of course, if your ambition is owning your own motorcycle shop, then by all means. Get yourself a sleeve.

Perhaps in the sense because of people with your mentality. Alot of people think like this and see a sleeve on someone and automatically assume that they are trashy and uneducated. It may show poor decision making because it is widely unaccepted in society and professional appearance because of people like you, so it can be assumed that a person with a full sleeve would lack the proper judgement and common sense to not get a sleeve knowing that it would hinder their chances of getting a professional job. Correlation does not equal causation. Some very smart people are tatted head to toe and you wouldnt know. (well neck to toe lol) The thing is that prejudice of said people is typically right because when drawing from the pool of people with full arm sleeves, you'd no doubt get people that work in a less "professional" environment. You will however, get people that are probably off the charts in artistic creativity, people that think outside the box and are probably alot less religious than the mean because they dont just follow the masses because it's the thing to do. Most musicians, artists, culinary arts, music production, performing arts, drama members, dancers, etc are in this pool.

What in the hell are you talking about. These arent even close to the same.

I agree with you, but it is a lost cause with people on the OT.

I have had people on here argue to me why writing a hand written thank you note is a bad idea, and another person try to convince me that not using a wallet is the way to go and one should carry around one of these instead:



While I don't give a flying frick if someone has tattoos or piercings, saying jobs in Corporate settings don't frown upon them is idiotic. It's a professional setting for frick's sake.

Edited typo.

Do most musicians, artists, and drama club members seem like the typical 9-5er to you? The group as a whole are social outcasts. That was very clear in everything I typed so obviously you were replying for the sake of disagreeing.
