Then you must be poor. It's like still having a paper round aged 21. 21 year old paper boys are life's failures. :2thumbsup:
I Don't Get The Paper Home Delivered Any More, But During The Years I Did, My Paper Boy Was Between 60-70 Years Old And Retired. When I Commented One Day That Maybe The Term Paper BOY Was Not Really Apt, He Just Laughed And Said He Took It Up When He Retired To Get Him Out Of The House And Away From The Nagging Wife.... Saw Him Driving His Delivery Car Only A Week Or So Ago, Gave Me A Big Wave And Called Out My Name Across The Street.... He's Really Quite A Character Around Town...:2thumbsup: Cheers Glen.
I work as a therapist in LAUSD (Los Angeles School District) schools with dreads. Most of the time, I keep them up in a cap or wrap. And I'm very honest and open with my supervisor that I have things like dreads, piercings, and tattoos, but I do my best to cover them when convenient and try to prove the stereotype wrong by acting highly professional.
I've worked in two architectural practices so far with dreads. Obviously I tied them back and looked smart for the interviews but when I'm working I just have them down. They're totally chill with it as long as the dreads aren't super messy and you work to a high standard.
Be kick ass at whatever it is that you do. If youre the best, theyll take you no matter what you look like, and pick a profession where you dont have to deal with the public face to face. I have dreadlocks and go to cosmetology school. Sure I can cut your hair, I don't ever cut mine tho... I work retail with mine, and no one ever comments on them. I usually tie them back just for ease of getting them out of my way, but you can always tell I have them. I am just also the best employee at my spot, and I know my shit. So even if you hate my hair, you want me, because I am not going to fuck your shit up.
