GOD DAMN CORPERATE CULTURE!
If your reading my post, you probably know Marquette, and know how bad the job market is. I've been out of real work for over a year. I've been through two interviews for a company and it looks like I've got a pretty good chance, except for the dress code. To many this is a small issue, but I'm having a hard time getting over my ego.
The specifics are no earrings, no facial hair, and I must wear a tie. I have 0 gauge plugs, have had a beard for 13 years and look pathetic w/o, and I've always promised myself I'd never where a phallic symbol that can double as a leash.
It pays 35k first year, third year is 50k, which is quite a bit for this area, but I find myself wrestling with selling out. Any ideas? Words of advice would be helpful, especially if you've ever dealt with similar.

Doctors can stitch your ear lobes back together if you love the work. If you dont want to stitch them together Ive seen flesh colored ear plugs that might get you by.
I dont have a problem with this. I do not consider it selling out. I hate dress code as much as anyone though, really.
I think youre asking yourself the wrong questions.
Would this job be enjoyable?
Would it help you save enough to accomplish the things youd like to do with your future?
Honestly I like a man in a tie. Hell I like wearing ties.
