Ever Dream of Being a Janitor?

Dec 7, 2008 People

Thanks for coming back. =). Glad to see you. If there's anything I can do for you, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email, or leave a comment, introduce yourself. I'd love to connect with you. Or if you have your own blog, why not let me promote your work?

Few of us would even consider that as a possibility. But John Andersen did, and he shares the joys of janitorhood.

His is a great example of someone who’s doing what he loves, not for the money, but because of passion, and because of the fulfillment it gives him.

John writes:

It’s just that before you dismiss a career because you think it’s beneath your abilities, it sometimes makes sense to investigate further. Look inside yourself. You may find like I have, that something as “lowly” as janitorhood can be a hidden gem, a key to unlocking the door to a rich and fulfilling lifestyle, the likes of which you had never before dreamed possible.

Are you overlooking hidden opportunities around you?

    This was great! I am in High School and have many possibilities ahead of me, however, I aspire to become a janitor. I really do. I want to work in the evenings, because I function best after dark. I also like the idea of being in a building with only a few people – I love the thought of solitude. I also enjoy cleaning.
    It really is a humble job, I'd rather be one of those people who are important to society, but not really seen.

    That's awesome. =). I'm happy for you – that you know what you want to do. All the best!
