Loading ...With the global recession hitting just about every industry, unemployment rates continue to see more and more people looking for a job. Well, when less people are hiring as more people are looking to be hired, people start trying anything to stay ahead of the competition. Plastic surgery seems to be one such tactic the job seekers are using.
While it may be against the law to discriminate against hiring somebody due to their age, many employers definitely take someone’s “visible” age into account. As such, I can definitely see why some people are going under the knife to try and keep that competitive edge. However, it does seem like a pretty big risk to gamble away many thousands of dollars to try and get a better payday down the line. Is paying $10,000 to look 10 years younger worth it? Will it really make that big a difference when looking for a job? I guess if you do have the savings in the bank to try it and are looking for a more higher end job then it could definitely pay off, but if you’re not going for a six figure plus pay check, then you’re probably better off using the savings as a safety net while searching for your next job.
File that under broke while looking good.
