Well you cant really fail with some plastic pedals. but you could also get some of those pedal protectors from UDC. those will keep your pedal from scratching the ground. That and you can git them is your school colors too, your employer guy might like that little extra touch. heres the link:

the white non marking pedals that go on miyata (spelling?) cycles are safe for gym floors. They’re cheap on unicycle.com

switching pedals takes 51 seconds and a wrench…no big loss to switch for what you need to do and switch back

My first job, 25 years ago, was handing out fliers to advertise a new restaurant while riding my unicycle. We met beforehand to discuss wages. The guy was fairly new to this country and clearly unsure of what would constitute a fair salary. He tentatively suggested $10 an hour, and my dad and I could barely keep from cracking up. We were thinking that $5/hr would have been nice but might have settled on $4. Minimum wage at the time was $3.35.

I pocketed $75 over the next 5 weekends and enjoyed every minute of it. People loved taking my fliers, too, but I’m not sure many of them made it to the restaurant, which closed a few years later.

I’ve just been paid £70 for pratting round on my unicycle one beautiful day in the summer. My one and only unicycling job.
