What is the name of your state? Ohio
For the past two years I have been working part-time (20 hours) as a computer technician and taking some college courses (3-4 hours) on the side. I have been living with my parents; their belief is that since I am going to school that they are willing to pay my living expenses since I live at home and not in a dorm or anything. This has been working out well until now. To make a long story short, I am losing my job due to a new eyebrow ring. I am not looking at removal of the piercing as an option. Instead, my parents said I could either stop working alltogether and go to school full-time, get a new job, or both. The only problem is with the bad timing; I would like to go to school during the normal semesters; they want me to go during the summer. So, they have since given me the ultimatum to get a job--now. I'd love to be able to collect unemployment or something to pay them the "rent" they want (but do not honestly need) until I am employed again. This has been a very upsetting event for me, and since I have been given such a hard time by then, would love to do something like that on principle. I know I am not the only person in this world with visible piercings or tattoos. How do others in my situation manage to modify their bodies and work at the same time?
