Does Amazon Fulfillment Center allow piercings and tattoos?
I went to an appointment for Amazon and a bunch of people had tattoos and piercings showing. I was curious as to if they had rules against it or not. They didn't say anything about it at the appointment.
Are tattoos acceptable in tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft?
I haven't seen any large facial tattoos, but aside from that, I've seen arms, legs, hands, feet and necks with beautiful inkjobs, but I with in devops. If you are customer facing, such as sales, it may be different. Also, the tattoos I've seen are well executed and non offensive. Extremist, offensive, or obscene ones will likely subconsciously count against you in an interview, and may lead to your manager asking you to cover them up.If I were interviewing a candidate, I would not care if they are tattooed. One of our program managers is heavily tattooed, and she is a top performer.
What high paying jobs (over 50K at least) will allow me to have dyed hair and piercings?
I don't know that there's a good universal answer to this. Where you live and the corporate culture of the place you work will impact this more than the job title will.My wife is a sales analyst in the marketing division of her company (nation wide medical practice, corporate office.) She has tattoos, shaves the sides of her head, has piercings... she got the CEO to change the dress code to allow for visible tattoos. I work in IT... I see lots of dyed hair, piercings, tattoos....I also live in the Pacific North West in an area that's very, very socially progressive. In other places, people respond with scorn and derision at the notion that anyone with a tattoo or piercing could be more than a common thug or criminal. When I started in IT, there was this notion that guys in IT could do... well, whatever. We were the strange, mystic folks who worked on the basement levels close to our servers and no one ever interacted with us much anyway. We were rare, valuable, and allowed to get away with a lot. Not long after I got out of college, this trend went up in smoke. IT was putting on ties and I saw more crew cuts than pony tails and things got weird. If that sounds like I'm describing a foreign world because IT isn't that way... you're right. The pendulum has swung back and IT has gotten casual again... though not as permissive as it once was. I guess my point is: It's not the job. It's the industry, the location, the culture of the company. Some industries are fairly open, and some, fairly conservative... but even that is a general expression: YMMV
How do I save up for traveling in my early 20s, considering I probably won't have a great job yet?
You budget very carefully, foregoing little luxuries, unnecessary expenses, impulse buys, frivolous entertainment, etc.You stick with your budget because you have a plan, and that plan is a priority. You don't view your budgeting as a sacrifice because you are making choices for yourself.You do your utmost to keep your overhead low, for example by living with your parents or with roommates. If you live with roommates, you cover your portion of costs, such as toilet paper, but you guard your personal resources. For instance, you might want to invest in a small refrigerator to keep your foods inaccessible to others.You might take the bus, avoiding the expenses of owning a vehicle. You forego cable television, or other monthly expenses for services you don't really need. You take good care of your clothing so that you don't need to replace it very frequently. On some items, you buy a quality product that will last a long time (say a backpack you use everyday); on other items, you go for the least expensive alternative because it will serve the purpose.You watch for sales on items you use regularly, and you keep mental track of what the going prices are so that you don't overpay.You skip buying alcoholic beverages when you are out, and you only have buy moderate amounts of alcohol to consume at home.You look at second hand and charity shops for things you need or want as opposed to shopping regular retail.You don't buy piercings, tattoos, or other luxury items.These are the kinds of things you must do. Then you stash money as best you can. $5 here, $25 there. You can also work a second job and save all the money you get from it. Put your money into a savings account that you do not touch — unless you face a major catastrophe. Do not dip into it for food. Instead, plan you food into your budget. If you get down to $10 cash for the remainder of the week, that will be okay as long as you have been paying your bills and following your budget.
