new thread
hey guys, i'm looking for things/topics to write about in my blog that will; a) be interesting to read, b) be informative and helpful
i already have lots of great ideas in mind, but i just wanted to see what you guys would suggest.
Long Hair Blog
I have some comments on job discrimination.
IME, getting employment in a law firm with long hair is not really a major problem, contrary to what it says in the link. You are just likely to find that you have few or zero co-workers who also have long hair, or at least none who are male, whereas in technical jobs there are usually a couple of other guys with long hair. Those are the only areas in which I have worked.
Banking, OTOH, is another matter. We have had people here post that they were denied promotion in banking for having long hair, even though they might have been able to get initial employment.
In fact, most of the posts I have seen here over the years from people who suffered discrimination were in jobs that required fewer paper qualifications. Don't try to get a job working for UPS, but other courier companies may be OK, and the US Postal Service allows you to have long hair. Retail is a problem, but not at Walmart, who do employ longhairs. Some fast food companies don't hire longhairs, but others do, etc.
Of course, this is mostly based on the US, as that's where the largest number of posters seem to live. The moral seems to be to get as highly qualified as you can, and that if you want to go into financial service you may have a problem. I think that would hold true in many other countries too.
wow i had no idea! i'll be sure to add those employers to the article.
I liked when you talked about movies (Taylor Kitsch as John Carter), so how about an article on Chris Hemsworth as Thor?
There's already a LOT on your site, so congrats! Coming up with content is hard!
thanks, i'll add it to the list.
You've covered a lot of topics there. I'm quite impressed!
How about doing a piece on hair accessories for men. Perhaps hair sticks? There's a long history of men using hair sticks to tie their hair back. Ancient China for example?
definitely! i'll add it to the list.
