Thank you to Kontan and Cicero. Some of the insults I'm getting here seem a little off-the-wall given what I've said about being willing to tone it down. Mainly, I started this thread out of curiosity; I already have work as an English teacher at a kid's summer camp that will pay well enough for the rest of the summer; I'm thinking of this more in terms of future opportunities, specifically international opportunities since I don't plan to hang around the US that long.
I tend not to believe the doom-and-gloom advice, due to a personal experience, where I wore rainbow-colored nail polish to work as a bagger at a grocery store and the manager took issue with it, so I quit and got a job that payed twice as much where they let me wear whatever I wanted. But then, that could have been a fluke.
