I’m scouting for jobs I’d actually enjoy working at as opposed to just “getting a job cus I should get a job”. I’m 20 btw, not independent yet, but I’d still like to have a job ya know? The only Job I know of that is mega lax with their dress codes are (i think) Hot Topic and Spencer’s. Do you guys have any other places that are similar? I’d like to be able to express my Alt-fashion choices :D
(Please dont be rude or mean in the comments, thank you!)
I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you’re gonna hit someone who isn’t hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.
There are lot of federal jobs that are very lenient on dress. Not public facing? Sometimes lot of options! Public facing? Might have to wear a uniform but the ability to have visible tattoos and piercings is pretty high. Also options for getting into the public sector without a college degree.
Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you’re good unless the company mandates something different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you’re such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you’d greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job
In most factories and warehouses they generally don’t give a damn what you wear as long as it covers the important bits and it isn’t a safety issue. I have a friend that literally just works in her sports bra on hot days at her warehouse job and nobody cares. Odds are they will also pay much better than retail too. Of course depending on the environment there may be special considerations like steel toe shoes or such. But steel toes are alt fashion anyways.
I do call center work from home and can wear whatever I want
awee- But I wanna work at a job that isnt just me in my house all day. I already bed rot enough as is 😭
I work as a software developer and pretty much everywhere it’s an open door on any outfit you want. I’m a man and regularly wear skirts to the office and conferences without anyone batting an eye.
Ofc You can wear what you want as a software developer- At this point its required you wear pink stripped socks and a skirt/j I thought about it- but I suck real bad when it comes to coding things. I have a massive interest in computers, but coding is one of those things I lack in skill ;w;
There’s tons of jobs in IT that don’t require coding so don’t let that discourage you
This might just be because California made it law, but Walmart’s only dress code was that you had to wear jeans and their supplied vest. They couldn’t tell you how to have your hair, that you couldn’t have visible tats or piercings, etc.
Head shops probably don’t care much, too. Just make sure you’re actually on drugs if they drug test you.

haha nice…
OH YEAAA- 100% I could kick it at a smoke shop. Sounds fun as shit
I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you but every job becomes a job, if you know what I mean. I’m my own boss, work from home, doing programming which is my passion. I still love programming, but work is work. Not saying you shouldn’t try to find enjoyment in it, just don’t want you to expect it to be fun as shit no matter what the job description says. Just try to find one that doesn’t make you miserable and focus on that work life balance.
