On Obesity And Career Opportunities

On my main site I recently published a motivational piece on weight loss, mentioning some good reasons for losing weight. One of the advantages mentioned was that the slimmer you might actually have a better shot at a successful career - doing better at job interviews, getting promoted etc.

Such a statement can of course easily come across as politically incorrect or downright offensive. But trust me, that was not the intention of the article.

I personally believe that everybody should be treated equally, regardless of gender, ethnicity, physical appearance or any other factor.

Unfortunately that is not always how the world works.

Even in modern western society discrimination is present in many different places, the job market being only one of them. Quite frankly the competition is fierce out there, and you definitely want to give yourself any advantage you realistically and ethically can.

And while you can't really do much about things like ethnicity or your previous socioeconomic background, a bit of excess weight is something that most people have at least some level of control over.

Wouldn't you agree?
