I’m only 22, but my hair has been thinning pretty quickly, starting from when I was 19, so I think I only have a few years before I become noticeably bald. I’ve read that the proportion of CEOs and members of congress is smaller than that of the general population, and the last bald president of the US was Gerald Ford. Is this because bald people have a harder time being successful? I guess I’m sort of fortunate because I want to go into academia where looks don’t seem to matter, but I’m afraid people won’t take me seriously because I’m balding at such a young age.
