Views of tattoos in US
hey guys, at the momoment me and the fiancee are currently doing a sports degree, and have been told that at the end of the degree companies from the us often come over and look to employ the best student.
as it happens me and ashley are top two for % and always wanted to move to the states. however we are both heavily tattooed... both have full sleeves which are visable on hand too. we spoke to her great uncle who lives in utah and he says as long as we dont move to a strict religious type state then we will be ok as we are not going into a buisness/corprate type workplace, but rather sports team, coaching. we would like to know others veiws... here in england it seems to be ok they have not got in out way. thank you all |

Yes - in fact I think that pretty much anywhere that isn't Utah would probably be OK ...

Re: Views of tattoos in US
thanks all for the replies, we are very happy with the responses. i was weary of her uncles veiw as i thought i would be pre-judged for tattoos on the hand.
we are hoping to get an internship with a sports team, as strength and conditioning coaches ( well assistants/juniors ). as for spelling.... :o yeah im not the best at spelling haha english language never was my best subject, so please excuse my spelling. i tend to stick with math and science which is lucky for the career im going for. im unsure where to look, but maybe someone could help here, as i said we are hoping for a coaching job on the strength and conditioning side. we will have degrees in coaching and a foundation level degree in health and exersice science,posably a masters in strength and conditioning, but we are both personal trainers and class instructers anyway... can i ask at what level do teams in the US take on a trength and conditioning coach? in the uk only profesional team will use them in any sport, high school and university level are not using them from the universities i have spoke too. is it the same in the US, i know college level is still high in US does anyone know if they use one or high school level? thanks again every one much appreiciated...... and again excuse the spelling |

You can't win if you don't play, after all. |

But really, the standard of written English has suffered since the bleeding heart liberal changes to teaching philosophy in the 80s and 90s. The problem is, some of the papers I have to mark have such poor written English that it is difficult to tell what the writer is trying to say. |

Looks like you are getting similar advice on the Immigration board - I don't think you have much of a chance, but go for it anyway. You can't win if you don't play, after all. not my place to say if the companies doing the hunting shoud or should not in the current economy but usually 2-3 each year. i will have experience coaching in a (american not soccer) football team. we are both qualified as pesonal trainers by acsm approved providers, so i suppose thats one thing out the way. thanks again |
