Ask recent grads what they would think about a janitor position for $55,000 a year (average U.S. living wage). My guess is the percent who would be happy with that? < 1%.

I don't have a degree. I'd love a cleaning job I can actually live on. The last one I had worked the shit out of me and paid peanuts. See: the problem.

Not everybody goes to University, what example is that one? A lot of people would be happy to take a janitor position if it allowed to live decently, without living in fear for your future.

		Um 60% of americans go to college. We cant all have cushy office jobs with 3 hours of real work a day. Someone has to be the janitor, the checkout clerk, the garbage collector, the factory worker, etc. etc. etc.
