I'm a job search coach and for years I have told my college age clients to delete any incriminating pictures or commentary that might make a potential employer hesitate to bring them into their company. When there are hundreds of thousands of students vying for work after graduation, who do you think an organization will choose - the candidate with the skills and a clean record and social media presence or the candidate with the skills but with a tarnished presence?
Many of the students in the recent Hamas/Israel protests have covered their faces. They will eventually be discovered through posts, comments, AI or any other means. Students without the disguises will obviously be found sooner.
With age comes wisdom and not that anyone is asking, but my advice to those protesting? Be aware, think of your future. You've got 40+ years of work ahead of you and so many opportunities to make a difference, make money and apply all that you have learned in school into a profession you love. Use you head, don't believe everything you read or have been told. It's time to grow up.
