List of all dreadhead jobs!

It'd be really cool if all the dreadheads could write down what job they have without being discriminated! I think it would be very encouraging to see all the different possible jobs that are out there for dreadheads I know that the fear of not being able to find a good job is maybe that last thing holding some people back from getting dreads. I'm luckily self employed but before I was I used to work at a warehouse on a late shift and my employers had no problem with my hair as long as it was out of harms way. Only reason I quit was because it interfered with school:/ I know that you can get a job at Five guys, Zumies and Index Skate Shop with dreads but I want to know more! Thanks!

I work for a nationwide grocery store (Safeway on the west coast). I've been with the company for 5 yrs, dreaded for a year. There were some comments when I first ditched the brush and conditioner so I urged my dreads on by having them backcombed. After I did that nothing else was said.There is a girl with amazing locks that works at Joann's Fabrics near where I live as well.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing:)

I work in a factory as a machinist (cnc) . My employer hired me when my dreads were a year old and still no trouble to this day for having them.

I worked as a cook for Whole Foods for 5 years. Note to anyone looking to get a job there: be careful. It's a horrible company to work for. They tend to not care about their employees at all.

Now I am a full time student again. I'll be working for my co-op's 6 months a year. I'll let you know where they are

worked at a marina renting boats this summer now in Holiday Inn as a houseman. soon to be picking grapes though

Im a Veterinary Technician and a dance choreographer. People see who I am and not my hair, so i've never had a problem. I'm also a youth leader at my church.

I'm a Direct Support Professional. I work with people with special needs and need assistance with daily tasks. My clients love my hair =)
