The custodial job I had was still one of my best paying jobs
squirrelduck
But is his job unionized?

School janitors must have the easiest job these days with everyone at home. All they gotta do is round up some weeds.
dogestyle
if you don't get good marks it will limit your career choices later - that's all

My school janitor was the best! We called him the cookie monster because he would always try and steal any kids cookies. We all loved him!

No teacher says this. We love the janitors. Piss off.
Dontdearabbyme
It's always been my parents. Which I thought was dumb, because at least the janitors consistently have a job. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Moffenson
I'd be a janitor anyday
mimblewimble
I made a student write an apology letter to our janitorial staff at the school for saying this to another kid.
Kuhmeister
I never heard a teacher, or anyone say this. Only place I see this is on Imgur
target35216
but the janitor may be a former mafia hitman who just might stab you in the eye with a soldering iron.
vanelanjenkins
The janitor also works much harder than the teacher. It's not always about the pay.
3crowsBeast
I like that in Japan the grade schools don't have janitors. The cleanliness of the school is the responsibility of the students.
CaptainFubs
I'm a teacher and I literally leave them thank you sticky notes every week. Teachers support students being functioning members of society.
InsaneHannahJane
I hide a candy bag that only our custodian knows about so he can always have a sweet treat
daliltupac
The janitor probably makes more money than the teacher.
BearUnhinged
Job shaming shouldn't be acceptable.
Bullfishie
Janitors have no student loans to pay back either.
Zweihander01
Teachers respect the custodians, because they're the ones that have to clean up the puke. So much puke...
ryat66
Janitor: "I make seventy grand a year and have a full complement of benefits. Fuck you, Ms. Watts!"
EvilCatina
Never said this to any class of mine. I just told my students that if they kept making messes they'd get to work with the janitor that day.
Idoitallforthecookies
I tell my son if he doesnt work hard he wont be able to buy pokemon cards and that generally works.
SolusEmsu
For me it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games/toys, but same principle. It works! Take away what the kid wants, not the same every kid.
NeelboBaggins
Former janitor here. Can confirm everyone talks shit.
Benki6wbh
My friend was the janitor at our University. He has no student debt but he has a bachelors in criminology, communications, 1/2
Benki6wbh
2/2 as a staff member of the University he only had to pay for books The rest was paid by the school

...in America. Not everywhere. Which makes no sense to me at all.
TheBloodyLady
Nothing in America is allowed to make sense.
ChrisMorray
Well yeah. In the US y'all can't decide on whether to do universal healthcare either. And even the 13th ammendment leaves a loophole for
ChrisMorray
slavery. There is still a legally protected form of slavery in the US.
Dontdearabbyme
Dude, we can't even decide if people deserve basic human rights. Everything has become political, even drinking a soda.
markthomasc31415
My uncle was a school janitor. Retired with pension. Asked back twice. Made the same as teachers hired the same time.
stanndingtall
They are the eyes and ears of the institution....
Noonius
yeah, but the janitor doesnt have to deal with entitled kids and shitty parents, and lets not forget the school board with "great" its ideas
stanndingtall
Oh they have to deal with the entitled kids clogging toilets and doing stupid pranks..
Pokegeologist
One of my buddies quit being head custodian at a middle school because exactly that. Kids shit on you just like they do the teachers.
dwilson0725
My buddy and I always took the cleaning job after school. The janitor was a retired fireman and we got to go anywhere in the school.
dwilson0725
It was the coolest. Usually took longer than the other jobs and we probably made his life more difficult. Lol but we loved shadowing him.
pmichaelkelley
Prolly gets paid more per hour of work at this point.
Welcometoyouredoom
Janitors make decent money. And supposedly their benefits package is better too.
nethsmith
Not always a lot of schools have gotten rid of their in house janitorial staff and hire outside contractors who do all the same work
nethsmith
But get paid less and get no benefits.
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
As someone who has worked both jobs, when i was a custodian, i only had one teacher ever treat me like that.
Ulthirm
I had quite a few but the region in particular has an issue with classism so probably regionally relevant.
RoseTheSpecialEdTeacher
I make sure all custodians know i appreciate them
Semphir
Maaah!.. Maaaaaah! The special ED teacher told me im doing a good job mah!
AMRIV
Seems to me that you always want to treat someone who has access to your stuff with respect.
Lordofthenopes
Not just access YOUR stuff, but the library, locked supply cabinets, storage for excess materials... The custodian is a good friend to have.
nopenononope
Former maintenance guy: the good ones won't mess with your shit, but we will never EVER make an asshole's life any easier. Ever.

How much do school janitors make?
RandyRandalman
Factoring in how they don't usually have to buy their own cleaning supplies in sure they break even at least most of the time.
RandyRandalman
Especially if they can do more than clean, like repairing basic stuff can get you decent hikes in pay.
YpsilantiRomani
About $28000

This meme is so much bullshit I wish people would stop sharing it
Malkozaine
I remember one of my high school ones sold us weed. It was great.
YpsilantiRomani
& that's the only way they make more money than teachers
Akumaka
The ones where I work start around 41.9k and cap out around 72.7k a year. For comparison, a Teacher with a Bachelor's Degree in the 1/2
Akumaka
same District starts at 48k and cap out at 95.7k after 28 years. We actually have really good Unions here.
jj999124
A couple buddies of mine worked as custodians for a while. Pretty decent money and a good job to get on your feet
noxdracoria
where I am from all public school janitors are part of a nation wide public workers union: they get approx 20$/h to start and full benefits.
noxdracoria
but I don't know what their actual hours are like ; I also work for the public schools and my job is just part time but I get around 23$/h
Malkozaine
I was looking at jobs just the other day where I live and that seems about right. School's out here seem to pay well...ish.
Malkozaine
Depends on what you are doing.
