How much difference does it REALLY make?

As you all know, I'm growing my hair long, and I think it's coming along quite nicely.
Soon (as in this weekend/early next week) I'll be moving to Dallas to live with my brother and to get a good job, as well as the fact that I need a big change. My mom and my grandma both insist that I should cut my hair before moving, because they think that no one will hire me with my hair as it is. Now, I'd hate to cut my hair because of what MAY happen, but I'm sure they have a point. My hair looks nice when I'm not just letting it go (like I am today), and it never looks horrible (IMO); but still, it IS awkward stage hair. My bangs are almost past my bottom lip, and if I wanted to, I could take all of my back hair and put it into a small ponytail (which would really just be pointless), but you get the idea. It's 'getting there', and I'd hate to cut it; but I need a job badly. Is it REALLY that hard to find a job that allows longish/long hair? I've explained time and again to my mother why I don't wish to cut it at all, and she understands, but the fact remains that most people don't. So what should I do? I would hate to sell myself, but I gotta have a job. Is it really that hard to find a job with longish hair, and I mean a good job? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. =]
