I am a 22/m/white. I am a sr in college grad in may and we are having a career fair next week at school. I was wanting to know, is it ok to wear small round gold ball studs? I want to look professional, but my earrings are a part of me. I normally wear square diamond studs but I know that is too much. I was wondering about the small ball studs. I am a psych major and want to be a juve delinq counselor. Many people have told me that employeers are ok with guys wearing earrings as long as they are subtle like the ones I am talking about. I wasn't sure. I don't think it should be that big of a deal. I have a professional, mature look. However, I like to be myself and express myself as well. A job isn't your identity. What do you think?? I am torn because I am not sure if the small ball studs are too much. I don't think they are, but that's me.

I think it all depends on who you are interviewing with and what the culture of the company or organization is that you would be working for. I'll give you this advice - if the place or the people disapprove of your earrings and can't get past that to see your professional talent and ability to do the job, then that's probably not a place you want to work nor are those people you want to work for or with. Don't settle. Reasonable, fair, just people exist - find some of them to work with and they will let you be yourself, and you will be a better employee because you can freely express yourself.

It will definitely depends on what field of work you are applying and the type of work environment.
However, personally I would be as clean cut and professional at first. Once I'm picked, I can determine if these people would be open minded about my purple hair and would I want to work with them. In other words, I have the option of choosing them.
On the other hand, if I'm rejected immediately because of my appearance. I will never have the upper hand.
There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself. However, you have to decide what's more important to you at various situation. When in doubt, try to be more conservative. That way, you will have more doors opened for you.
Best wishes.

If you are APPLYING for a job then don't wear earrings.
If you already have the job, then go ahead.
