I posted this question in other sections as well, but I'd like to see what people think in this forum:
I am a 24 year-old Algonquin native, and I wear long hair and piercings according to my traditional native customs. I'm going to be graduating from law school this spring, and I'm wondering if my long hair and native jewelry might be problematic.
I always keep my hair tied back in formal settings, and it's in really good condition. I really don't want to cut it, because in my culture long hair is a significant part of our identity as natives. But at the same time I've paid a lot of money to get my law school education, and I want to make the most of it, and if that involves chopping off my hair to secure a good job...well, I'll have to do it.
What do you think: Will I be able to land a good job as a lawyer if I keep my long hair, or should I get it cut?
Thanks
