I started stretching mine in 99. Got pierced with an 8 gauge and stretched to 1 7/8". Then took em' out for about three years and they were still at 1/2" when I put them back in. As long as you stay around 0 or 00 gauge, they should shrink down pretty good. Once you start going past 1/2", I'm not sure that they would shrink completely down. Currently, I'm at 1 1/8"; as far as the job situation: As long as you present yourself as intelligent and wear the appropriate clothing to your interview, then that's all that matters. I work for a software company doing QA, so I don't really see any clients or anything, but it's still a Business Casual environment. I'm working on my Software Engineering Degree from GA Tech now...If you have piercings and tattoos and are trying to make it in the corporate world, it is definitely possible. It's all about how bad you want it. You make it all possible for yourself. F**k what everyone else thinks. If your a dumbass, you'll still be a dumbass after you stretch your ears. If your an intelligent person, then you'll still be an intelligent person after you stretch your ears. Good luck with it man. Just don't go too fast with it; ripping is no fun.
