    I have my ears stretched to 14mm. Never had any bother with them when working. Had 1 employer point them out, so I got flesh coloured plugs, job done. Kept the flesh coloured ones in while I was salon based so as to not frighten the aulwans, but my current employer couldn't give a fiddlers.

    Tbh, an employer who puts that much emphasis on someone's feckin earlobes is likely to be a weapon in many other regards too, so it'd be a fairly mutual 'thanks but no thanks'

    And in the interest of balance, here is an article by a woman who regrets doing all the **** you outlined.

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/jennagoudreau/2011/09/28/youth-in-the-office-confessions-of-a-fed-up-employee/



    and what is she
    a filing clerk ?
    a secretary?

    the article isn't clear

    and what **** did i outline
    all i said was that tunnels and face piercings could hinder your future job prospects.

    the fact is that a career isn't supposed to complete your life.
    it just provides a salary. its only one piece of the jigsaw.
    The girl in your article, her life is out-of-balance

    true life satisfaction comes from inner peace and harmony and you won't get that from your job, your lack of a job or your choice of weird jewelery.

    Goalposts just broke the sound barrier, I feel.

    probably not a safe assumption
    many students in 3rd level have no idea what whey want to do after graduation.

    .

    If you asked 3rd level students with hoops or stretched lobes whether they were considering a career with dress restrictions and/or a lot of time spent on site at large financial or corporate institutions I would be amazed if many of them said yes !

    I think kids know what they don't want, perhaps more than what they do want.

    Anyway, I think you're away with the birds tbh with this self granted "educator" title. An educator is a master of communication or they are nothing, you are...well, not a master of communication. Let's leave it there.

    It gives them more options.

    interesting read:

    from a professional ear stretcher


    mind you, its just his personal opinion so not to be taken as fact
    (disclaimer to satisfy half-blind-jack)


    Going blind in one eye (I wasn't always blind in one eye) has never been an impediment in my career choices. The eye patch tended to be unnerving for interview candidates though or those people who would meet me for the first time, but by then they'd have noticed the crutch too already :pac: Yes, being born with cogenital hip dysplasia has limited certain career choices, such as it meant I failed the medical to join the Army, and dyslexia has just meant I detest other people's careless spelling and grammar errors, bad enough trying to read english under normal circumstances, but that shít?

    I appreciate the disclaimer though, albeit yet another half-arsed attempt at being smart.

    i disagree, i do see myself as an educator and if i can persuade just 1 person to avoid this misguided course then my time on boards.ie today has been very worthwhile.

    i have not told anybody to do or not to do anything.
    i have asked people to consider the long term consequenses of their actions.
    i can't persuade somebody not to be a bell-end, i'm not that persuasive.
    i can only advise...and educate.


    I think you make a very persuasive bell-end, certainly one that would discourage anyone else from behaving like one.

    (My username is a euphemism for a bell-end actually, only found that out later though :o)

    Employers don't take too kindly to drama queens either tbh. You've done nothing throughout this thread but snipe and bitch at people who didn't agree with you, and you haven't contributed a whole lot, no, you haven't contributed anything useful, to your own thread.

    For someone who sees themselves as an educator of any sort, you're doing a piss poor job of it so far! To call yourself an educator is simply stretching the definition. You haven't provided any education of any sort, only blah blah, waffle waffle, and now waah waah again when people have tried to educate you.
