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?
Thanks! I'll probably write about this in a future post. It warmed my heart.
No thanks needed. =). It's a great story that deserves to be shared.

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!
