- I have no sage wisdom to offer on this subject-- but if I were given the
- choice of who I prefer making judgements based on my looks, I'd rather
- cut my hair and look clean cut to impress a potential employer rather
- than adjust my appearance just to keep college pukes from asking
- me for drugs or to party.
-
- It's easier to ignore the moronic judgements of college students with no
- life experience and even less influence over my life than the opinion of
- the person hiring me for a job.
