you can have ear repair surgery

This! I've had a friend that did this. It can be a bit costly, but...It's a possibility.

Best of luck!

He's not *screwed*, c'mon now.
I'd talk to some people about it in the field of politics. If they think it would be a problem, you might have to sew them up.

Unless he takes them out and lets them go back to their normal size, he is.
And he seems passionate about his piercings which makes me believe he won't do that so yes, in that case, he would be screwed.

I simply said that because there was a solution to his problem. You don't have to be so defensive about it.

Gauging is never a good idea because it's hard to find respectable jobs.

Stretching, not gauging. A gauge in an increment of measurement, not a verb.

I have my second lobe piercings stretched up to 4g now and as far as hiding the piercings has gone, clear earskins have worked pretty well. It's clear that there is a piercing, but the gauge is relatively small, and can be masked with the proper jewelry. BAF also sells great glass/steel retainers, so if you're concerned about other piercings, the possibility also exists there (http://bodyartforms.com/products.asp?jewelry=retainer).

Silicone earskins are great for hiding piercings, so long as you maintain them well and find a color close to your skin tone. There are all manners of hider plugs available, so if you're unwilling to remove any of your larger gauge piercings, the hider plugs remain a possibility. BodyArtForms.com sells great body jewelry, all of high quality, so it's worth looking into. (example: http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetails.asp?jewelry=retainer&ProductID=2705&index=12)

On most of those it's really easy to tell.

It's just an option. Depending upon where you buy them, you may be able to be matched for a color, instead of just guessing from the website. So long as you're not going for a very public position within politics, it should not be too much of a problem. It will really depend upon what type of position you're looking at. I have friends who are heavily modded, to the point that nothing can really be hidden entirely, and they have positions high up in corporations, where no one has paid any mind to their modifications. Depending upon the type of office you're interested in, mods may or may not matter.

I have piercings the same size as yours, and in my eyes at least, they really aren't that big. It's all a matter of perception, but it really isn't the dreaded 'point of no return.' All bodies respond differently, but if you were forced to remove your piercings, oil massages and increased general care could almost certainly shrink them to a smaller, less noticeable size.

The types of retainers I mentioned above are merely an option. The best thing I could suggest is to wait and see how things pan out. If you're not  pursuing public office and you're not really in the public eye, I'm sure most would not pay much mind to your modifications. If you do find your modifications a problem, all that really remains is to pick the modifications or the profession. It sucks, but if it is what is you truly hope to excel in, some sacrifices may be necessary. :/

It's a lot to think about with piercings and all.... I liked yours, but I understand how people "Freak out" over piercings. I think piercins are becoming more and more accepted, but we have this image of professionalism that we're supposed to uphold.

Do what makes you happy, find a happy medium or compromise. :)
