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 and I will be interviewing for jobs. 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 so, but that's me. I try to keep them in 24/7 so that my right ear lobe doesn't close. I have some problems with it growing up fast.

I don't see a problem with you wearing smaller studs, but if it worries you that much, take out what you wear just before you go to the career fair and then put them back in when you are done...if you think it will be a problem later if you are hired, ask about them during the interview...I have my ears done a total of 7 times, and have never had a problem during interviews because I've always asked what they would prefer

Depends on your country, your culture and the culture for the company that you wish to work for. (Also unfortunately the likes/dislikes of the person intervieing you).
I work for a BIG 4, and it would not be acceptable for a guy to wear earrings. (I think its crap, but thats the specific company rules here in SA).
In most western countries I would be wary for a guy to wear earrings to a bussiness job interview. I would think that for a Juve councillor earrings would be acceptable. One wants the counsellor to be able to relate to the juveniles, and EARRINGS IS IN !

i don't think you should wear them, they do look pretty unprofessional, many employers will probably think its silly that you wear them in the first place
