I was wondering in computer hardware engineering, could I have tattoos and piercings? I have 4 ear piercings (2 on each side), a right nose stud piercing and I’m getting a tattoo soon but it’s going to be on the top of my right or left arm just in case if I wear a shirt, the sleeves could it cover up. I would love to have a career in that field. I am currently a junior in high school. I’m not sure of this is the right topic forum to post this in by the way.
Just my amateur two cents but I would guess not and here’s why: I understand hardware engineering is a really tight field, only the few big companies are into it like intel and amd, so the competition is tight and a large professional corporation would probably go with the clean cut people. My friend graduated in computer engineering but he quickly found out he should have done software engineering/programming, and that’s what he transitioned to. Now if you did software there are so many more opportunities. Startups especially would have no problem with you as long as you’re otherwise clean and professional. As long as you’re good at what you do, they’ll take you no matter who you are.
