A couple of comments on appearance:  it affects more people than you might
realize.  Almost anybody with an office job is better off with a youthful
appearance.  Old programmers and engineers, f'r instance, have a pretty
hard time being taken seriously.  If you're in any kind of public contact
or broadcast (video) journalism, you won't last long when the wrinkles
start coming in.  (There are a few notable exceptions, but damned few).

And, oh yeah--it stinks.
