This particular argument is just not interesting to me. I disagree with you: I think lawyers dress like pretty much all the rest of the accountants, salespeople, marketing managers, and project managers that make up the modern workforce. I think that if there&#x27;s any profession that <i>does</i> have an informally enforced and idiosyncratic dress code, it&#x27;s the programmers, with their surreptitious warnings to preferred job candidates not to wear a suit to the interview.<p>I respect that you&#x27;ve had a different set of experiences and drawn different conclusions, but respectfully: I think I&#x27;m just going to be hard to convince otherwise on these points, and having a message board slapfight over which jobs wear more ties --- I can visualize myself trying to Google my way to a survey answer to this question now --- <i>shudder</i> --- just seems like a terrible use of our time.
