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 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.

      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;

        If you’re interested in IT, aside from software development, you could look into server administration, networking and security operations. No coding, maybe some scripting here and there.

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

            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?

            “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)
