Beards

I am a simple man. All I want is to be happy and live my life to the best of my ability. For me to be happy, there is one essential part of my physical appearance that I need, my beard. My beard is a part of me and my character. I mean, what else is there to say? I know it isn't as mighty as some beards out there, but its still a damn beard. Most men can't even grow one, and yes I have a hereditary bald spot under my chin. But let me tell you something, there is nothing that will ever make me shave this thing off. The main reason I am talking about this is because of one thing. One subject that gets me more angry than a lot of subjects out there... Jobs. I cant find a fucking full time job to save my damn life. I have applied to literally hundreds of jobs ranging from public relations to a train conductor and all I get are rejection letters. Sometimes I don't even get the courtesy of that. At this point, I am honestly thinking that these people circulate my resume with a head shot of me and they all conspire against me making a living. I honestly think that. But enough complaining about job hunting, that is a topic for another day. What I really want to know is why the hell am I not allowed a neatly trimmed beard in a professional setting? Who the hell made this rule back in the day? Seriously people. this isn't the damn 1940's anymore... so why is it I can't have facial hair? Is it unsanitary? Absolutely not. In fact, i shampoo is every day just like my hair. Is it unsightly? I doubt it. In fact, if I didn't have a beard people wouldn't be happy, they would be asking why that grown man looks like a gigantic baby. Seriously, I look like a giant man baby without my beard. So seriously, it is NEVER coming off.

But lets be serious, who really thinks that if someone has a beard they really shouldn't be hired? From what I read and hear, a lot of people. In my opinion this is absolutely absurd. You are telling me that if two people walk in to an interview, one of which is completely the right dude for the job and has a beard and the other the complete opposite, the guy without the beard is most likely going to get the job? From what everyone is telling me, yes that is the case.

OUTRAGEOUS. 

What would have happened if some of the greatest people in history needed a job today and had facial hair? 

Now in no way shape or form am I saying I am as good as those people in history. But to be quite honest, what if someone had something huge to share with a company and they simply were not hired because they had damn facial hair? I am taking a stand once and for all. Mark this down... I WILL NEVER SHAVE MY BEARD FOR ANYTHING. Blow me economy.
