So I graduated this winter with a degree in Economics from a top 20 school and have been having trouble making is past the interview stage. I think my hair has been the main problem as I have mid length dreads like pic related. (no white people dreads, i'm not white)
Took me 2 years to get my shit how I wanted and i'm not cutting it to appease some kike. But at the same time i don't want to starve so do anybody know what i can do to make it more presentable? tie it back? Each interview i wore them like pic related.
I'vea heard the public sector dgaf about hair as much as the private sector; am i better off looking for government work?
Either cut it and then when you are in the position regrow your hair
Or
Try harder when you apply to jobs you want
Or
Accept the fact you're going to be jobless

It's a tradeoff OP. Sometimes if you want something, you have to give something else up. That's life.
So, seems like you got a choice to make.

think about it would you hire some wanna be chief keef lookin ass kid who just graduated? cut your hair and once you get the job grow it back out companies are very disciminative in the interview process but cant fire you for things like how you wear your hair now a days

It would take at least 2 years minimum to regrow; and i think my employer would have even more of a problem since i'd be going through the nappy afro stage all over again.
Yes I would hire some Chief Keef lookin ass (aka me). It's not like i'm going to be interacting with suburban white customers everyday that could mess up the buisness. I'm looking for office work, i'm not even going to be around people.
this seems more and more likely. Tbh i'd rather just work in the public sector then cut my hair. Does the government give a fuck? I have a feeling that since its government they couldn't really discriminate based on dreads. Losing my aesthetic would lower my quality of life more than not having a job.

It's irrational and i'm being emotional I know, but fuck it.
I think for now i'm going to tie my dreads back for interviews and see where that gets me.

Maybe you should wear glasses, that could be the difference.
Or just go with a buzzcut. Looks clean and pro.
Oliver Flores
If you care about money more than you care about your shitty hair you will cut it off.
