Monkey Suits Mahn
Today my University held a career fair, ooooo buddy. How fun, do you mean that i have the opportunity to work a 9 - 5, potentially longer, and have the honor of receiving your "generous" two week vacation time. HA. 2 weeks bruh. Two. That's not even 10% of your year. You get about 5% vacation. 5%. I'll say it again, differently. 95% of your year you must work. Ewww. No thank you.
My lady friend and I both knew we were expected to attend this fair, our parents would be disappointed to not see us attend. Instead, we were right next door lifting weights together. It was in the same building, the wellness center for my college. I walked into the fair in a tank top, shorts, and headphones around my neck. Jean encouraged me to go in and talk to one company, I mean why not! I prevailed! I received a free t-shirt and some information to check out online. Will I?
I'll wear the shirt.
Did the man who invent college go to college?
Hm, Okay then.
-HopsinPeople have no trouble buying these clothes to go represent who they are not, and try to appeal to these fake societal expectations.
I do.
I'm not sure I ever want to buy a suit. I'm not sure I'd like to ever be in a situation that "requires" a suit. If I have to live that life, then it is not my life at all. I am allowing another painter to come over and mark my portrait. Hm. I'm not sure many would allow that, but yet they do.
Look at those robots above. They mindlessly do tasks, unconscious of time. Why are we in line with them? Why are we doing monotonous tasks for big corporations? Somebody created that corporation, somebody had an idea and made it happen. Everybody has ideas, only a couple make it happen, why? Because its easier to not have to think for yourself. Following the pretty yellow brick road paved by the system is exactly how people get to a point in their lives where they feel they have not accomplished anything for themselves and blah blah blah. Don't get there.
So, lets ask the question of why.
Why must I dress like everyone else? Why must I look so "Professional"?
Jesse Eisenberg plays the character of Mark Zuckerberg in the move "The Social Network". After developing the version of The Facebook, many venture capitalists were interested to invest. He walks in, with this attire on. How do you think these individuals would react to this. Do you shake a man's hand if he's in, god forbid, his jammies? Ew, you're not dressed appropriately, no thank you. No way, would they see that.
Power
Every little thing that you allow somebody to influence in your life, is you giving power to somebody else. You are entitled to this world, you are entitled to this life, you will have to hustle for your desires and dreams, but don't settle in areas. If I am groomed decently and am wearing casual business attire, I see no reason to given a position if seen fit. Do they want the kid with a 4.0 in a beautiful bought suit, purchased by dadday, or would they want the kid with wrinkled khakis, a 2.5 GPA, but work experience that is extremely signaling. You decide.
Comment below about your thoughts on our beautiful societal impression toward business attire.
