What jobs in the US (Kentucky) Allow employees to wear whatever you want?

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 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 worked in an actual call center in my 20s and, aside from the interview where it's advisable to dress somewhat nicely, we were mostly free to wear whatever we wanted as long as it kept all the appropriate bits covered enough.

Is it stressful working in a Call center? Are callers nice at all?

tiredofsametab , (edited )

Generally yes and generally no, in that order. At least in the call centers I worked where one could wear about anything. At my shirt-and-tie job, generally yes and yes.

I should note that I haven't lived in the US in years, so I don't know what things look like today.

I made money in a call center when I was 19. It sucked because we found out we were lied to and we were ripping people off thinking we were offering the great prices on long distance service. But maybe tech support wouldn’t suck.

Aw shit- They lie to their own employees too?? Thats awful :(

Yikes. Getting a real strong “ I’m a character in an anime cartoon vibe “.

Dude- this is my second post here on Lemmy. I asked for people to be nice and I suppose you didn’t bother to read that. I’m not a fucking “anime character” I’m autistic as shit. I find comfort- as a black girl- in being able to express my love for Kawaii fashion. I want a job that will allow me to express these values as they mean a lot to me AGAIN- as a black person. If thats a problem with you then please just move on to a different post. At the very least just ask me some questions first before going off and judging me like that.

Blaze ,

Ah, found that comment. Again, sorry for the comment above 😔

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual OP ,
@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world avatar

Yea- Im not entirely sure what their deal is. I guess because I use text emojis they assume me to be some kinda Main-Character Manic anime girl. I’m not even in any anime subs to begin with- Bleagh. I’m sure comments like his arent gonna be common here(I hope)

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.

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual OP ,
@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world avatar

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;

glimse ,

There’s tons of jobs in IT that don’t require coding so don’t let that discourage you

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual OP ,
@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world avatar

Really? how so :000 Im- a bit curious about PC building, I wanna learn that Desktop computer jargon I hear some people use

glimse ,

Do you like configuration? Network engineer! Lots and lots of jobs in that field. The dress code thing is gonna limit a lot of entry level jobs though, I’d think. You probably won’t get a help desk job at a traditional office but who knows. Lots of jobs are remote which opens up some possibilities if you have the skills

Learning to build a PC is a great start for literally any computer job. Are there any computer stores (local, not like best buy) near you?

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual OP ,
@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world avatar

Ouhhh network stuff sounds pretty neat. I also have a bit of interest in cyber security

some_guy ,

I’ve worked in IT and software development. I moved back to IT because I need customer interactions to derive job satisfaction. It’s great because I’ve been at a managed service provider (MSP) and now at a gov org. MSP is a great way to speedrun a bunch of technologies and build proficiency. The gov job is far less demanding and is like being on cruise control.

Build yourself a PC and start a homelab. Read stuff on r/homelab (and same on Lemmy, but the old site has way more content for exposure when you’re new). Check out questions on ServerFault to find out about things you find interesting. Ask questions. People are generally helpful.

Good luck!

“Datacenter Operations”. These are the people that bless the racks, perform the Ritual of the Wires, have access to the Room Of Windy Floors, and get to keep stacks of dead hard drives under their desks as footrests.

You don’t even need a degree, just show up to any data center with a vape and a hoodie and they’ll probably just let you in, especially if it’s third shift. Closest thing you’ll ever have to working in an isekai dungeon.

(I have nothing but respect for the datacenter denizens)

I had a programming job where the dress code was “Keep it covered and don’t smell.”

They had to add that last part.

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.

cheers_queers ,

i work custodial in a public school district, and basically the dress code is “no sweats, no holes in jeans, no spaghetti straps.” i dye my super gay hair, have visible tattoos, and a facial piercing. i have had 0 comments on any of it except compliments.

also the pay and benefits are pretty great for entry level jobs

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.

Cock_Inspecting_Asexual OP ,

OH YEAAA- 100% I could kick it at a smoke shop. Sounds fun as shit

haha nice…

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

JeeBaiChow ,

Unless you’re working for yourself and not customer facing, good luck with that. Brands care about image, and bosses care about discipline and morale. ‘whatever you want’ may or may not reflect those values, may cause distress or even be a danger to others.

Mojave ,

I fit in with my satanic shit as a software engineer. Computer people don’t care, they seem smart enough to know it doesn’t affect the job.

JeeBaiChow ,

That fits in very will with the established norms. Stick with that and op will be fine. Go outside of that, and find out.

Fosheze ,

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.
