      Should I take a job at Hot Topic?

      A few of my really close friends work at Hot Topic and Zero said I should apply cause I really need a job and I've been having shit luck at getting a job.

      I kind of dislike Hot Topic and similar stores, as they've commercialized nonconformity, which is ridiculous imo. That and they've essentially invented Scene Kids, which is a cardinal sin.

      Also, I don't fit the bill of a HT customer or employee.

      I'm a 60s-70s free love hippie at heart, I have 2 foot long hair in a ponytail, I'll wear anything that fits, urbanwear, band tees, blue jeans, khakis, polos, Hawaiian shirts, anything.

      I don't wear bondage pants and I've never died my hair, so it actually has texture and body and isn't dead like every scene kid's overworked piece of shit hair. I don't have any piercings or tattoos although I want some of each.

      I have a huge musical background, I don't only listen to Fall Out Boy(I never do) and Evanescence.

      But I really, really, really need a job. I'm 18 and my mom is giving me her house to manage/rent out. And I've got to put about $5,000 worth of money and a good month of work into getting it up to codes and whatnot.

      Should I apply?

      Well... you have friends who work there, you need a job. So what if you don't wear tight pants or have piercings or listen to a bunch of hardcore music.

      It's just like working at Hollister or Abercrombie, or American Eagle. You sell clothes and band tee's, and other music. So what if you don't know anything about it. All you need to know is how to cash them out. What's the worst that can happen?

      "How's this My Chemical Romance CD?"
      "I don't like them."
      "But you work at Hot Topic."
      "Doesn't mean I like My Chemical Romance."

      There you go. That's probably the worst that would happen.

      Apply.
      You do this every fucking time.
      No sweat.
      No tears.
      No guilt.
      You do this every fucking time.

      I vote no. If you're not going to enjoy working there, and in fact don't even like the store, don't get a job there.

      What do you like to do that could help you get a job? Look in odd places.
