Where do you work?

Like streetcar and norbydog, I am in Law Enforcement.

You might refer to me as a "flying sheepdog".

DHS/TSA-FAMS.

Wearing a kilt on the job would make me stand out too much--my job is to blend in.

Off duty, however, ALL BETS ARE OFF!!!!

(Maybe I could go to the range kilted...Hmmmmm, breezy...)

A couple of years ago, I thought about applying to be a sky marshal. I figured who would suspect the guy with the pony tail, ear ring and utilikilt.

This has been an interesting thread to read.

Here's a new answer: I am a Vice President at a full-service advertising agency. All those wonderful radio and TV commercials, newspaper ads, direct mail and freeway billboards - that's what we do.

I could probably get away with wearing a kilt to the office, but I would never wear one to see a client (unless we already had an understanding). Now that I have my first kilt, I'll probably give it a shot tomorrow!

On the other hand...

I am a Physical Therapist and would not be able to work well in a kilt in the clinic, as I frequently need to have a knee-up on the treatment table, etc.
I have been trying to get my wife more interested in things Scottish, tartans, so that I can eventually GET a kilt. So far I have a Fife-District necktie (grandfather), a Gunn "swoosh" tartan baseball cap and a Royal Stewart baseball cap. I've noticed since getting into the Scottish heritage stuff several months ago that many of my plaid work/weekend-shirts have identifiable tartans. Planning to get a Campell Modern (Great Uncle in law) tie soon. Waiting for a black vest in the mail.
Thanks for all the great information, support and humor regarding kilts!

What a diverse crowd. I see a lo of white collars out there. I my self am a semi white collar, I am a Shop Foreman for a school bus shop in the state of South Carolina. I am one of those lucky state employees. And no we don't always stand around with our hands in our pockets. I wear my kilt into work and change out into my uniform for my job and after work change back out into my kilt. So in a sense of the matter I do wear my kilt to my job. I always seem to get the skirt comments a good bit, but I just find a reason to go right back at them. I also freelance a a still photographer, and since I have started wearing the kilt in November I have wore the kilt to all photo shoots I have been to. It seems to be a good conversation starter.

Is there anyone that has not guessed what I now do for a living?

My boss requires me to wear a kilt at work.

I also vollenteer as a Docent at The Royal BC Museum. I did not wear my kilts at the museum until the director asked me to.

Prior to this job I have been; A yacht designer/boat builder, An Apache Helicopter Test Pilot, A teacher, (College/High School) A live-aboard sailor/beach bum, A mechanic, A fork lift driver, An interesting person, and once, just once, I got to be a dad.

I got to be a dad.

THis is by far the best job I ever had or will have.

I'm a full time student right at the moment, so I'm as close to full time kilted as two kilts will permit.

I work for a developmental disabilities agency as an intensive behavioral intervention professional (I call it "kiddie wrestling") working with kids with mental retardation/cognitive impairment, autism, etc. who engage in aggressive, self-injurious, or other maladaptive behavior. I wear my kilts to work when I don't have kids scheduled - I do a lot of my work in schools and other community settings, and never know when I'm gonna find myself on the floor or climbing up on playground equipment fetching a runaway, for that matter - one of my kids had figured out that if he bolted quickly enough, school staff usually assigned to work with him weren't able to climb up and get him down safely, so he didn't have to go in to do more school work - I've pretty much broke him of that habit, now.
