Long Hair In Albany

For those who are looking for long haired professionals I found
another one. On Animal Planet (a cable tv network in the US of A) there is a Veterinarian who practices in Alaska who has long hair in a pony tail. More proof that you can have long hair in the work place. More ammunition you can use when folks tell you you'll have to cut your hair to get a job.

  That's probably not a good citation.
  Veterinarians are generally not employees, but small business owners. As an owner, you set policy--it isn't set for you by someone else.

    Well they are employees of the practice. Maybe someone owns the
    vet practice and employes the vets, maybe the vet has set it up as a professional corporation. But the point is he is a professional vet with long hair in a profession that deals with the public. Vet practices usually have a number of vets and
    techs working for them. He may or may not own the practice.
    The ones around here are owned and operated by national veteranian chain (VCA).

      This precisely illustrates the difference between fact and conjecture.
      "Maybe", "probably", "may or may not", and projections from local practice are not facts. Thus, it remains a poor citation.

        Poppycock. The man has longhair and is successful in a business dealing with the public. This is the message intended, sent and received in this post. It is a pure positive and need not be denigrated on some semantic level. The public is just as tough a boss as any internal superior. I work for a major health insurance, health care provider as a dentist and have long hair with no interference from above. We need to focus on positive role models, and not criticize those who promulgate our views. sj

        Hey Bruce, I like the way you think.

        The title of this thread is Long Haired Professional. I would
        think with the education required a veterinarian should be a
        professional person. So how does he not fit the subject of this
        thread?

  I am a dentist and have mid-back length, thick wavy dark hair. I have had it for over 5years. I get almost no negative feedback, not that I care. Most patients really like it and the older ones who remember longhair days of the past and their youth, love it! Just be yourself with confidence. People sense it and just accept you.If you are truly a longhair in your heart, you just live it and people accept you as they would anyone else. sj

  I work for a trucking contractor that services a globally known cheese company. Around the plant it is no secret that I am a college student in addition to my duties there. A few months ago I was asked by one of the middle management about what my degree was going to be in, when I reply biology he got excited and asked if I was interested in working directly for them in their lab upon completion of my degree. He wasn't the least bit concerned how my hair would effect my ability to study cheese cultures.

  I am a patent agent, a job that requires a professional licence, and I work for a boss. There are lots of us.
  Having a college degree and a professional licence doesn't reduce your ability to control your own appearance, it increases it. It's obvious if you think about it.
  Of course, if you are just in some white collar job that requires no special qualifications or skills, you are not actually a professional anyway. Sorry, but you just think you are. The truck/lorry driver with a CDL/HGV licence (depending where you are), is more of a professional than people like that.
