Hello,
I recently posted a message regarding my concern about growing my hair out since I'm going into my second year as a full-time law student, and I don't know how co-workers and employers would perceive me. I'm an average student so, unfortunately, I can't rely on exceptional grades to make up for any long hair I may grow.
For those of you that are in what society would consider a "professional" career (doctors, lawyers, corporate officers, etc), could you please post pictures of how you wear your hair (including clothing) when you go to work? Maybe you can also indicate what state you're from since geographic location may play a part in people's perceptions (I'm in Northern California). I'd love to grow my hair out again, and I think seeing pictures of "professional" men with long hair would help encourage me to bite the bullet and commit to growing it out again, especially if I think I can land a job. Thanks.

Well I too live in northern CA and I can tell you one thing for sure. CALIFORNIA IS THE MOST LIBERAL DEMOCRACTIC LEFT WING TREE HUGGING STATE IN THE US 100%! You do not have to worry about it at all TRUST ME! This is after all the state where we have Berkely and aling with it the University that breeds the happy go feel good left wing non sense. hehe I am not a right wing extreamist guys (obviously sinse I am growing my hair long and bucking the norm) BUT I cannot stand the communist here in CA. I mean come on all this is the state where we get a traitor that was over with the taliban fighting US troops and half the state feels sorry for him it is ignorant. Opps sorry I went off on a rampage but anyway to make a long story short if you plan on practicing in CA you have 100 % not a thing to worry about. Take my word on that. :)

Hey, we aren't ALL that bad. A select few of us have some common sense.
I mean, you have to have common sense to grow long hair, don't you?

Thanks, Dustin. I needed to hear that. I keep thinking back to the time (a few years ago) when I had my first job interview here...While wearing a 3-piece suit, I was waiting in a room for my boss to come through the door. Well, this guy comes in wearing a button down hawaiin-like shirt that had the top 3 or 4 buttons unbuttoned, 2 big silver earrings (one of which was a large hoop with a ball on the end of it), with a 5 o'clock shadow! The first words out of his mouth was: "Dude, this is California...lose the tie!" I then noticed billboards on the highway that stated "California...look the way you want". Hopefully, long hair will be included. Thanks...
