About to have to sell out......

What, are you Samson? ;)

Come on, "selling out"? You talk like you'd have no integrity left. Well, that's nice to know; hair/beard = integrity...for some!:hiding:

"Sell out" is a term that gets thrown around way too much and taken way too seriously by some people. A military general selling nuclear secrets to terrorists or a Jewish book publisher agreeing to distribute Nazi literature are examples of REAL selling out.

Getting a haircut or a metal band writing a ballad are not that big of deal, but to hear some people talk, you'd swear they were mortal sins.
 
If there were a multitude of jobs to be had that you could choose from, I'd say stick to your guns.

With this economy, and the lack of employment opportunities, I'd say go ahead and make an appointment with the barber.

Hair will grow back.
+1 I agree with DR
you need to do what you have to these days if that is all that stands between you and being employed start cutting!
 
It's all just a game, after first impressions people will get to know who you really are.
I had a funny exepreince at Macy's recently. I am not exactly Mr. GQ, I have a grey beard and I usually wear old jeans, boots and maybe a faded cowboy shirt or t-shirt. There was an older very well dressed man who looked like he worked at the store. He looked like he had never had dirt under his fingernails in his entire life.When I asked him if he worked there he said no and seemed very offended that I would even ask him. I went about my business and looked for shoes. When I was leaving I saw Mr. Snooty Patootie waiting on a customer. We locked eyes for a second and I could see the fear in his eyes. I just smiled and headed down the escalator. I figure he didn't like my looks or was on his break. I wasn't offended in fact the whole thing still amuses me.


Sorry but I would have had to find a store manager and bust this guy out.

Absolutely, SHAVE!
