What jobs can I get with a lip piercing?

Question

Currently, I work at the market on my college campus. Obviously, I'll want to change jobs soon--I'm 23 and hopefully graduating in December. I'm an International Relations major with no intent on working for the government. My town is pretty small, but I'm planning on moving in with my Dad, who lives in a town with a lot more options. I have barista and call center experience (among others) but I won't want to be stuck at. Minimum wage job forever. Ideas?

Update:

I know that facial piercings are not in line with many companies' dress codes. And they don't have to say it's because of the piercing, they could argue that someone else was more qualified, better suited for the job, etc. Complete bullsh*t, but that's what happens.

Lip piercings take 2-3 months to heal completely so if you think you're going to be interviewing for places in the next 2-3 months then I would avoid it. Even then, they can close up really quick after it has completely healed and should not be left out for extended periods of time for at least 6 months. Some places are going to allow a lip piercing, I work in a contemporary art museum and obviously it's pretty liberal here and I have no problem with my piercings or tattoos but many professional places that are going to pay you salary aren't going to want their employees to have facial piercings. It does limit you if you can't take it out for work or interviews.

So long as you take the jewelry out for the interviews and the hours you're working, you can apply for any job you'd like. But if you insist on keeping the jewelry in, that's going to constrain your choices.

Any job you want, it's illegal not to higher you for a piercing
