puh-lease. college was no where near as hard as high school made it out to be, and real-life is no where near as hard as college made it out to be.

i had a mohawk when i worked at dell. never once had my job threatened over it.

it's just a feather. the school is just attempting to homogenize the populous and suppress individuality.

Ironically, the lower you are on the totem pole, the MORE restrictions you're met with. People working at any kinda chain restaurant, retail store etc would NEVER be able to go to work looking like that.

it's the peasant effect. the peasants try to emulate the life style and attitude they see the aristocrats lead, but in reality, the aristocrats do whatever pleases them and don't actually care about outward appearance.

it's like cursing in the modern day. fucking rich fucking people don't give a fuck how many fucking times they fucking say fuck. but someone pretending to have higher social class might refrain from exercising such vulgarity.

it's like how elementary schools are run like prisons, which make way to secondary schools that are more relaxed, but still controlled like nazis (as in this case), to tertiary schools (college/trade) which are run on a do what you please model because you paid and it's your education, to adult life where you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as you don't impose on someone else's rights to do what they want

So true, while working at retail after highschool (kmart,walmart) they piss test and refuse to hire anyone who tests positive, whether legal by the state or not. After that I joined an organization caring for adults with mental disabilities. a job in which you regularly handle schedule 2 drugs, transport the consumer to and from appointments, etc. Lets hold the guys stocking shelves and greeting people at walmart to a higher standard than those we entrust to take care of a human life.

It doesnt exactly relate to your post but the less important a position is the more rules management can put in place because those positions are merely warm body positions and can be filled with anyone. If you need a guy to do nasa stuff maybe the one with mohawk really is the only guy for the job and you have to accept that part of him or risk a worse trusting a worse employee to aim that rocket at mars.
