DAMN RIGHT!

Get a tattoo, dye your hair bright blue, and get 39 piercings on different spots all over your head, Vym. Then let's hear your parents complain about discrimination.

Housing prices in Australia vs averege shitty pay for a person just entering the work force makes it a very bad prospect to go house huntting.

I can't speak for Australia but a well groomed goatee is pretty common in Silicon Valley. It is not going to keep you from getting a job, but I don't think I've seen a lawyer with one.

Vympel, I have an idea what you're going through. (I have long hair, my parents detest it.)

As long as it isn't massively scraggly, I don't see the problem.
