Who has stretched/gauged ears?

[einhander]

I work for people with more money than this forum has posts. I do not have tattoos, piercings or pieces of delrin in my body.

QFT

Short-term thinking is short term.

Things will be better when pilots can show up to take the controls of essentially 200+ lives with neck tattoos and dreadlocks. And not cale

Oh, jesus. I look all normal and whatnot, but if I ever put my self below a "career" I would be an unhappy person. I get the feeling that OP will be just fine.

Also, if I wanted a custom car/bike/anything built for me, it would almost certainly be by a tattooed up, gauged ear, madman genius (with limited potential). Not a suit wearing career man (unlimited potential).

Machine shop work aside... it is still a legitimate career issue for some lines of work. If two pilots apply for a job, who do you think is getting hired? The guy who looks military-trained with haircut and conceal-able tattos, or the guy with a face full of metal? My money is on the military guy, and it seems the airlines agree with me. From the uniform section of our Flight Operations Manual...

- Piercings: Simple earrings may be worn by female pilots. All other piercings shall not be visible.
- Tattoos shall not be visible.
Males:
- Hair shall be above the shirt collar, not covering any part of the ears, and sideburns shall not be lower than the middle of the ear.
- Beards, goatees, or soul patches are not permitted. Mustaches shall be neat and trimmed with no extreme style permitted.

Presently, yest this is true, but I'm just saying things will be better when the people who wouldn't recommend you based on a hole in your ear are dead and or out of the workplace. And Cale.

You're cute. I was simply using this as an opportunity to poke fun at dreamchasin and his uniqueness, I'm glad you got all rustled as well.

That being said, there is avery distinct difference between a job and a career. Which would you rather have more opportunities for? Jobs paying an hourly rate with limited growth potential, or a salary based career with growth potential and most likely superior benefits?

You only get one shot at a first impression. While personal expression is your right, a potential employer has the right to craft an opinion about your gauges or even have a contractual clause forbidding such expression(such as the example that was mentioned earlier in this thread).

It depends on what line of work you're in. In my field, career advancement is largely centered around networking and internal recommendations at the good places to work. A few seconds and a handshake might be all you get to make your impression... and you have to make it count. Most of the time the people with the power to help you are significantly older.

Long term, it could be the difference between 200k/year with 19 days off every month, or half the money for a third more work.

OP can do whatever he likes to his body. I'm sure he will be able to find plenty of employment opportunities along the way with or without gauges.

Bro, do what you want to do. I won't be working any kind of corporate anything ever either. It'll never be my thing.

[dreamchasin]

Personal preference. Instead of bashing someone for what they like maybe just look the other way. I don't believe in a god, but you don't see me posting how people who do believe in a higher power are stupid.

I really don't think in this age that a piercing should exclude you from a job, but hopefully when a few more old people die out of the corporate/government workplace shit like this that doesn't matter won't matter.

I got down to 2g back in 2000-2004, took them out and still have pierced ears, no flappy holes, but man let me tell you how well I can rock a set of 6" hoops.

[dreamchasin]

Eh, horrible troll is horrible.
