Can you find a JOB with pink hair? Sure...as someone said Hot Topic. Also, certain (not all) fast food places, record stores, tattoo parlors. Gainful employment implies not just having a job, but one that actually pays all of your bills. Is there an accounting or law firm somewhere in this world who has an employee with pink hair? Possibly, but I doubt they were hired that way, and it's probably 1 in a million places. Would the firm where you work hire an attorney (or even a runner) with pink hair?

Why should that apply to students? Education is not 100% book learning. It's social interaction, and people skills, and etiquette. If you went to a school that focused 100% on algebra, history, and biology and didn't care if it's students drooled on the desks or relieved themselves in the classroom as long as they had a 4.0, then I feel sorry for you.
