I am wondering if you can give me your opinion:
I am from Spain, i have straight long hair , it reaches my mid-back, i am planning to go to the USA, i am going to study english , maybe find work,i plan to stay about 8 months in America but i don't know if the fact that i have long hair will make things harder ( you know discrimination) i know that most of american people are nice people but i ask all the Americans if things will be easier if i cut my hair?
Sorry for my bad english! and thank you for your time !
I have long hair past my sholders and I did not have any trouble finding a job. But I live in Maryland and things might be different in other places around the US. I get very little discrimination for my hair, and I don't think you will get much either. Keep it long. Your english is better than you think.
Long hair wasn't an issue working where I do here in Arizona at Intel.
AMD 4 EVER :)
With long hair plus an accent Americans would probably think you are an exotic personality...
and actually be attracted to you!
Good Luck!
It's 1000 times better than my Spanish !
Good luck with your trip to America.
Thank you for your opinion, i'll be in Denver,Colorado about august 28 i will tell you about my experience in America, thanks for the help i`ll keep my hair long! greetings from Spain
Yes, there are some in the USA who would discriminate -- thankfully, those people are still the minority, especially in big cities like Denver. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico, about a 6 hour drive south of Denver. I find it ironic that the previous post insists that you would do "much better" because America is supposed to be about freedom -- this is the reason they severed their ties to England over 200 years ago. I can't imagine how anybody can stand up for America and yet try to enforce a strict standard for personal appearance!! Those people should really go and live in a dictatorship for a while.
