YOU might not care what this individual does to his personal appearance ... but I submit to you that your CUSTOMERS or CLIENTS may care. I personally wouldn't patronize a business who hired such an image to represent them. My question would be; "what the h@ll were THEY thinking?" I can't imagine an individual looking like this applying for a decent job ... unless his goal was to remain on unemployment.

Yep, call me biased, prejudiced, whatever. First impressions are lasting ones... isn't that what is still taught in our schools?

My grandson has a nose ring (and we love him dearly) but he has enough common sense to remove it when going to work in order to keep his job. Has nothing to do with having a college degree or being "educated".
