Silly question I know but can you have a career as a physicist and be a guy with longer hair?
No. You can't be a nuclear engineer, either, especially if you have a huge beard.PookDo said:Silly question I know but can you have a career as a physicist and be a guy with longer hair?

Nope. He had very long, prematurely grey hair. He joked that his hair had turned silver from experimenting with mercury so much.HeLiXe said:AHA! wasn't that a long wig?

Theoretical physicists and string theorists are raving psychotics.Pengwuino said:Even theoretical physicists can't have beards because then people confuse them for raving psychotics when they start talking about string theory.

To become a physicist, you typically need at least a bachelor's degree in physics or a related field such as engineering or mathematics. Many jobs in the field also require a master's degree or PhD.
Yes, absolutely. Long hair does not affect one's ability to do well in physics or be taken seriously by colleagues. In fact, many successful physicists have long hair and it has no impact on their work or credibility.
There are many career options for physicists, including research positions in academia or industry, teaching, consulting, and even roles in finance and technology. The problem-solving and analytical skills gained through studying physics also make graduates desirable for a wide range of other jobs.
Yes, it is entirely possible to have a successful career in physics while maintaining long hair. Many physicists with long hair are able to balance their work and personal appearance without any issues.
No, having long hair should not affect job opportunities in the physics field. Employers in the science industry are more concerned with an individual's skills, qualifications, and experience rather than their appearance. As long as you are qualified and capable, having long hair should not hinder your job prospects in physics.
