Since I have my eyebrow pierced, I can relate to most people who don't get into jobs. I get weird looks, I get rude comments, I get everything when it comes to piercings. I have my ears pierced, belly button pierced, and my eyebrow pierced. I can work in the back of restaurants, or in the back of any industry, because customers wouldn't really be seeing me as much. As for working out in front, and dealing with people; most people agree that if you're dealing with a person with a facial piercing, you'll be paying attention to that, and not what they're saying.
In my opinion, I think that everyone should be treated the same, no matter how many piercings or tattoos they have. As things are right now, most teenagers are getting facial piercings. If you go to a school, just count how many people have facial piercings. Look how noticable it is. It's pretty noticable, and does catch your eye most of the time. Yet don't you think that over a period of time, people will see piercings as something normal. You'll walk around, trying to find people without facial piercings.
Don't you think that in the end, people with piercings and tattoos will be equal? And they'll be treated like people were, without piercings?
In my career, I'll measure how sucessful I am by how many people come to me for help. I want to be a Social Service Worker of some kind, and help people in any way I possibly can. If they're just looking at my piercing, then I can't really help them. But if they see me as an equal, then they'll listen to me. I don't think people should judge me on my appearance, though it does show part of what I like. Yet in the end, I should be treated as an equal, and be getting the same amount of money as anyone else in my field.
