Certain attributes are required for each job. But is it possible that some people may possess physical characteristics that are wrong for a particular job?

Obviously, modeling and acting jobs come with the preconceived notion that you are attractive. A CEO believes that there are a few more everyday jobs that attractive people are not well-suited for.

A CEO is of the belief that some jobs are just not made for attractive people.

Chelsea Fagan is the CEO of The Financial Diet, in addition to being an author and host. Fagan recently shared a video on TikTok that boasts 3.2 million views of her take on “hot people jobs.”

“I know this is technically discrimination,” she said, “and I’m sorry, but I honestly believe that if you’re above a certain level of attractiveness, there are certain jobs you just shouldn’t be allowed to perform.

Fagan offered a personal example to illustrate her point. “I was scrolling earlier and I came across a video of, I mean, one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen,” she said. “I just kind of sat there. I don’t even know what he said. I just stared at his face.”

She continued, “And of course I went to look at his profile and wouldn’t you know it, this man is a therapist.”

Fagan wondered how someone so attractive could actually work as a therapist.

“Like, I’m sorry, but in what world can someone this functionally beautiful be a therapist?” she asked. “Like, I just could never be honest with that man. I could never be truly emotionally vulnerable. I certainly could never admit to anything unflattering about myself.”

“Like, I’d go full glam before every single appointment,” she insisted.

The CEO argued that attractiveness could be distracting in certain professions.

Fagan argued that some people just shouldn’t take on certain jobs because they are too attractive to them.

They would not be able to be efficient at what they do.

“Look, he might be a great therapist, but it’s just not the job for someone that attractive,” she said. “And our society favors and rewards attractive people in so many ways, but certain things — you just have to sit this one out.”

There is absolutely no doubt that our society admires and rewards attractiveness. Beautiful privileges have been shown to exist in every facet of life, from career success to social status.

Ultimately, the question becomes, are there certain instances where it is a deterrent, as Fagan claims?

The CEO was being sarcastic, but maybe she’s on to something?

While Fagan’s argument was humorous and all in good fun, it begs a real question: Are there any jobs that you might be too attractive for?

It turns out that this may be true. Newsweek cited a study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology which found that when applying for “less desirable” jobs, candidates who were considered more attractive were typically given less consideration.

“The researchers found that people interviewing and hiring for these jobs favor unattractive candidates because they perceived that attractive candidates would be less satisfied with the pay and the work,” they said.

So that mystery seems to be solved, at least partially.

It seems that there are jobs that attractive people just aren’t suited for. Or that people perceive that they would be a bad fit. If they don’t get a chance in that job, they can’t really show if they would be a good fit or not.

There is also a chance that being attractive can be a professional advantage.

The University at Buffalo School of Management investigated why attractive people tend to get everything they want at work. The study found that being attractive in itself isn’t enough to give you an edge professionally – it’s the fact that you’re treated differently if you’re attractive.

Of attractive people, the school said, “They build a greater sense of power and have more opportunities to improve nonverbal communication skills throughout their lives.”

Based on this information, there may indeed be such a thing as “fair privilege.” Rather than not being right for some jobs, as Fagan said, attractive people may actually receive the jobs they want.
