Is working as a janitor/ custodian a bad thing?

It is good steady work and nothing to be ashamed of.

I remember the custodian at my elementary school. His nickname was Blackie. I don't remember his real name, but he was the only adult that the kids didn't have to address as mister, miss or misses.

Everyone loved Blackie, who could fix anything and solve any problem. He also had a keyring with about 500 keys. He was a nice man.

yes, we had Mr. Mooney for a janitor in elementary school. I was a fat lonely kid and he was nice to me. Sometimes I hung out with him in the boiler room when i delivered the milk bottles.
After I graduated high school I walked by the old school and went in to look around. I saw Mr Mooney and he remembered me. I was not a fat kid anymore.

It's good, honest work that doesn't hurt anyone, but definitely not a job to brag about.
I had a janitor job when I was just out of highschool, I was cleaning banks at night.
I had a girlfriend, but you gotta tell them that the janitor job is just for now until you find something better.

Its a turnoff. I tried dating 2 before and the thought was just a turnoff. They were only janitors because they were high school dropouts and couldnt get much but shit i wouldve rather they worked in retail or at a fast food joint than do that

[SlangSlayer]

Nah I would rather be janitor than work at Mcdonald's.

[DizzyDesii]

@SlangSlayer i would rather they be neither. I dont need a rich dude but one with at least a high school diploma and nonfast food/janitorial job would be nice

[DizzyDesii]

These two dudes didn't even want better for themselves because they felt they didn't deserve better so that was a turnoff itself

[SlangSlayer]

So you were turned off by their no aspirations.
I'm like janitors make more than teachers lol. And teacher went to college.

But no I agree but for 18-22 year old not bad job

[DizzyDesii]

@SlangSlayer mopping is one thing but them wanting you on the phone with them as they scrub toilets and shit, nah. Turnoff

[SlangSlayer]

What's does desi mean? Are u indian?

[DizzyDesii]

@SlangSlayer no its my actual name

[NamerOfStars]

Not at all. It's not glamorous, but it's honest work- which can be a hard thing to find in this day and age.

A job is a job & if it pays & has good benefits that is all that counts. On the other hand shit happens & unfortunately you are going to be the one to clean it up.

[ALewis30]

I do that there are a few big name retail stores that pay their janitors as much as $15 or $16 a hour.

A lot of these jobs pay decently and have good benefits.

[shortster]

Nope being gainfully employed is always a good thing.

You make more than teachers lol especially if you work at a school district.

[Onceuponoflove]

No, my super gets free rent in a nice building.

[In_Trance]

No I don't think that's a bad thing at all

[FunkyMonkee]
