Suitable haircuts for male attorneys
I just finished my first week at an unpaid summer internship for one of Long Island's top insurance fraud defense boutiques, and the attorney with whom I am working stated that my "haircut was not very professional."
I have a blowout. It is the only haircut that I am comfortable with. What am I supposed to do, comb it down so I look like a total herb? No way.
I don't want to get fired because (a) rumor has it that last year the attorney took the summer intern to Jackson Hole for burgers on his last day and (b) I think this will be great work experience leading up to my MBA at Zarb. What should I do? Should I change my haircut or keep the blowout?

First, there's no such thing as "professional" when you're not being paid.
Second, you should not get an MBA at Zarb. That's more useless than an JD at a TTT.
Third, a blowout is no more appropriate for a Zarb MBA than it is for a Hofstra JD--which is to say, not appropriate at all.
Finally, (and sadly) this attorney probably has a better idea of what "professional" looks like than you do. You should take his criticism to heart. that he had to say anything at all should be a hint that you don't exactly have the classiest appearance.
this is probably the right time to tell you that white Gucci shades, spray on tan and wife beaters are also not suitable for attorneys....even the B&T ones.
How does one know if a firm is one of Long Island's top insurance fraud boutiques? In any case, sounds horrible to me.
I guess i get why you're going to b-school. 55k/yr filling excel worksheets in the basement of some itty-bitty company is better than any amount of time spent in one of those "top insurance fraud boutiques."
Surprising that all that a someone who graduated magna from hofstra couldn't do a little better. Probably should have waited, retaken the LSAT, and gone to fordham or cardozo--or really any of the better NY-area schools.
Is your life honestly that boring that you would take the time to write something like that?
Take it back to xoxo, douche.
This guy can't be serious. Has to be a gag post.
I always get a kick out of people who enjoy being "out of the box" and "unique" yet bristle when they get the inevitable friction that comes with it.
It's your call. If you look out-of-place, it could hurt your prospects. If you are otherwise a superstar, you'll overcome it. And if you develop as a strong lawyer, your blowout hair could become your signature.
Conform if you like, but if you stick to your preferences, understand the consequences.
agree this is probably a gag post, but out of curiosity, wtf is a blowout haircut for a man? for women, a "blowout" involves straightening what would otherwise be curly or even frizzy hair, and is generally considered more professional than that person's natural alternative. i should know, i spend way too much time blowing out my hair each morning.
never mind. a fade, i see.

everything posted by hofstra magna is a gag post.
People seriously thought this was for real?
Thanks for the advice 10:45. I slicked it back this morning. Basically, I look like a young Michael Corleone, except more jacked and tan, and with some blonde highlights. No one cut me off on my way to work this morning, I think I could get used to the respect that the slicked back hair gets.
Anybody heard if they caught those clowns who jacked the Hofstra students yet?
Jackson Hole for burgers on your last day. Dare to dream.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA i am so glad i checked the community section today.
A+ would read again
HostraMagma looks like a fembot from Austin Powers.
Why don't you simply work at Jackson Hole? That woudl put your double Hof to good use.
