Your Career with Facial Hair

If you watched the Boston Red Sox win the World Series in October, you know the power and allure of the beard. Psychologists have even commented on the reasons behind the sluggers’ facial hair. But if your future career aspirations slant more towards the courtroom than the outfield, you may be wondering if a beard, mustache, or goatee is the way to go. Fortunately, this issue has been thoroughly explored in The Gentleman Lawyer’s Guide to Facial Hair, a thoughtful post from earlier this month on Lawyerist. Consider this, both Mike Napoli of the Boston Red Sox and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. of the U.S. Supreme Court sported facial hair while at work.
