Top 10 Jobs with UniformsI read it, and very few private businesses require uniforms. So my original post stands, dress codes are OK, school uniforms are not.You obviously either have a reading comprehension problem, or didn't read my entire post. Try again.The business world dress codes are not even close to military uniform codes you suggest.Another way of looking at it is that "uniforms" are generally required in most work one would endevor to do for pay. Now, I use the term "uniform" fairly loosely here. While a truck driver, like myself, is often expected to wear pants/shorts, shirt, and footwear (often times provided my employer) that is exactly (or materially) the same as everyone else in the company (in the same position); an accountant, for example, may only have general guidelines (i.e. button-up shirt and tie, slacks and dress shoes for men; and similar business dress for women). Of course there are jobs that have much lower standards (if any at all), such as factory workers; they may only be required to wear long pants, sturdy (steel-toed possibly) shoes, and refrain from wearing loose clothing.If your talking kids must wear pants, shirts and shoes yes. If your talking uniforms, no. Uniforms are nothing but an assault upon individualism based upon a perceived threat the government refuses to address and actually help create.Dress codes are a good thing, though.
Most of the positions I have held have had some sort of "uniform" or clearly defined "dress code" so everyone is a) safe, and b)presents an image the employer desires. So, having a strict "dress code" or even "uniforms" for high school is not just about avoiding problems (real or imagined), it is about prepairing students for the "real world" where they don't generally get to wear whatever suits their mood that day.
Imagine a world without nurses.
You will see that only 3 of the top 10 are Government jobs.
