How much and in what way do you think how someone looks effects their success?

Dr Jesse Carrie shared that when he was in grad school, he used to wear Hawaiian shirts. He stood out but maybe wasn’t taken as seriously as he could have been. He noticed when he got out of school and could afford better clothing, he was taken more seriously.

 

Laura Agafitei agreed. Saying that she is quite tall for a woman (5’11”) and that she often felt awkward for standing out as a teenager.

 

Dave Roberts added that as long as his students are dressed appropriately, he is much more interested in interacting with them intellectually.

 

However, there have been many occasions in my life where I have been told I’m too pretty to be smart.

 

Tattoos even came up in this conversation.

 

While I did have international diversity on this panel, I believe the conversation would have been even richer if there had been more racial diversity.

 

How much do you think looks impact success and how do you keep yourself from judging someone by how they look?
