Trading your valuable time for something equally as valuable is not "selling out". It's participating in a system in our society which allows people to get the things they want for the things they have. We don't have to talk about whether capitalism is good or bad, because no one's mind will be changed. However, it is the way of the world here. Participate or not as you see fit, but don't let yourself sink to desperation and then expect sympathy or consideration for your self expression.
In the hierarchy of needs, pink hair does not rank.
eta: Okay, that came out more harsh than I intended. It's not personally directed, but directed at a general group of mainly young people, who have yet to learn these cold hard realities. Fortunately, we have recessions that help with this problem!
