If I am not mistaken, most of the illegal and undocumented crowd are pretty tattoo free, and not much piercing. A plus for people who want to hire someone who has an attractive appearance.

The 27-year-old -- who has multiple masters degrees...

In what subjects? How many of them have "theory" or "science" in the names?

Yeah, there's nothing like hiring illegals since they don't have tattoos. Whatever excuse you need, I guess. /rolls eyes

Are you casting aspersions on degrees with science in the name? What are you trying to say here?

What about "studies"?

I like that stuff. It lets you know when someone ain't right before you get too close.

I was wondering if it might be something like Social Science, Queer Theory, and Gender Studies.

haha!!

Well.. the article said multiple master's degrees, and one is definitely in Library Science.... Very well could be in one of those "invented discipline" areas.

You may be sorry you asked...


Librarian Colleen Harris shows off a small portion of her body art Friday, Oct. 13, 2006, outside the William T. Young Library where she works on the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington, Ky. The face of the young American worker is changing, and it's increasingly decorated with ink and metal. About half of people in their 20s have either a tattoo or a body piercing, according to a study published in June in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. (AP Photo/Ed Reinke)

Except for that short fat thing going on.

Well, if I were running a white-collar business, I think I would make the mistake of avoiding hiring everyone with a visable tattoo. I would thus tragically be stuck with upstanding conservative types who do all the work.
