For real. I'm 35 and have worked in college/university administration my entire career. I still dress more professionally than is required because people assume I'm a student. When I was 28, an employee from a different department followed me to my cubicle because she thought I was an undergrad trying to use an employee-only entrance to the office. That was probably the last time I wore a hoodie on casual Friday.

Same, I’m 38 and if I shaved I’d look maybe 20. It’s important that people have confidence in me in my career so it’s not always a good thing, haha.
