in 1982, as a cpa with two years experience, i went to work as an IRS agent auditing business returns. My group manager asked me to do a tax return for the federal employee janitor who appeared to do nothing but dust mop the hall. his w-2 showed that he made $3,000 more than me.

i saw a story on TV over the weekend about a 90+ year old fella that finished his degree .. they had to go back over like 72 years and piece together his various college stops and decided he was a candidate with just a few more classes and he did it ..
An 80 something graduated from LSU when I did. She got a big round of applause

For now, he's trying to get "a better job," maybe as supervisor of custodians or something similar,
you just have to like someone with that kind of outlook on life...almost had a law degree in belgrade, fled the civil war, works 12 years to get a degree while working as a janitor....
the best part is, he doesn't seem to feel like the world owes him anything at all...if he came to MS, I would hire him tomorrow...

My uncle retired from Boston College as the head janitor. He worked there for over 30 years. He was making well over 100k a year for the last 10 years he was there. they also matched his 401k up to 10%.

good story about dedication
Yes, but ...

His ambition is to get a master's degree, maybe even a Ph.D., in Roman and Greek classics.
In other words, he will continue to make more money as a janitor.
