it's definitely not a "better" job. Money isn't the only consideration.

I'd need to shave my beard if they hired me.
I laughed and said, "Well, I appreciate your time today but this isn't going to be a good fit for me." and walked out.

and told you that you had to lose the chain on your wallet, you wouldn't do it? I call shenanigans.

You'd turn down your dream job just because they asked you to make a minor grooming change? That seems prettty stubborn, but I believe you're being sincere, as that's your personality. The funny part is that the policy doesn't apply to the players, and obviously playoff hockey beards are a famous part of the sport's culture.

...and I'd 100% turn that job down. Honestly, I'd turn down just about any job that tried to enforce a dress code.
We, luckily, have a dress for the occasion policy and leave it up to the individual to have sense enough to do so.

If you want to be a New York Yankee, you can't have facial hair. One of my friends works for the Las Vegas Knights, and he had to shave his signature beard to take the job.

...school teachers and administrators is too far for me.
I'm not asking they change. I was just genuinely shocked that there's the existing requirement.

and I do think that it makes him the cool kid with the red rocker hair. I also think that he will eventually get tired of it, and I absolutely agree that it should be his decision and no one else's.
That being said, if you think that your kids are ever going to live in a world where they aren't judged by their appearance, good luck with that. Just be lucky they aren't fat.

And he's smart, he's friendly, he's a classroom leader, he likes ALL the sports...he's all the good things you want from a 6yo.
The idea that they're already being judged on their hair style and how they dress...just REALLY rubs me the wrong way.
I'm also probably reading the wrong way into this...but it doesn't seem to make any cultural leeway either. What about young black kids with braids or hairstyles that aren't kinda explicitly white? Pacific islanders? Etc.
