[quote=Anonymous][quote] have is that kids have it much harder these days and that people do form impressions about people based on their appearance. We just interviewed people to fill a position here and none of them showed up with any piercings or visible tatoos.[/quote]

Perhaps at a stuffy east coast firm, but I have a couple friends from college who work out in silicon valley, first at Apple and then at startups.  They just bought an over 800K house when one is 27 and the other is in their early 30s, so they can't be doing too shabbily.  They go to work looking like ratty hipsters, and the wife has pink hair.

[quote]It is a generational thing, but my issue us that the teaching profession deserves more respect and more money so more bright, well educated college students will enter the field and stay in the field. If teachers want the same respect as lawyers and top business people then they need to dress professionally.

Yeah, but I am seeing more and more tech firms, journalism offices, etc. basically anything outside of old school cooperate firms and law firms are more casual and I am pretty confident that as younger people move into these areas, trends will start to change there as well.  Teachers should be respected, sure, but appearances is not what is keeping bright people young people from considering it as a career, it's the pay.[/quote]
