Boy, who saw this one coming?
It seemed like a great idea in college to get that tattoo of a giant tiger on the forearm or that silver barbell through the lip. But now that they're entering the "real world," potential employers aren't quite as enthusiastic about body modification.
Randall Hansen, a career adviser and professor of marketing at Stetson University in Florida, says, "Although opinions of tattoos may have softened a bit in the last one or two years, the vast majority of employers prefer to err on the side of conservative."
I'll admit to a certain acting out when I was younger. But our rebellion -- the long hair, the funny clothes, the attitude -- were a little more easily, you know, erasable.
