I Want To Be A Custodian... When I Grow UP!

Custodians are the first line of defence against an invisible, heartless, vicious and aggressive enemy: infectious bacteria. Custodians are the true front line soldiers, essential workers, first to put themselves in harms way in order to defeat infectious bacteria left on surfaces that would be encountered by executives and career professionals in ALL businesses. Custodians are under appreciated, and basically discounted, although there is not a business that could operate efficiently without one or more.

 On the opposing end of the Spectrum, directly opposite the non-degreed Professional Custodian, is the bacteriologist; a scientist who studies bacteria, especially those that cause disease, in effort to identify and find resolve for unidentified, dangerous, and deadly infectious viruses. College degrees, and Certifications validate the scientist's remarkable profession.

   Bachelor's degreed Bacteriologist would most likely have studied Microbiology, Mycology, Bacteriology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry, ending with a degree that would amass a salary of about $75,000.00 per year- to start. Salary ranges for Custodians or Janitors, on the other hand, range between $22,000.00 and $35,000.00 per year-no degrees required. In many cases, there is not even a GED validating the qualification of cleaning personnel, but these under-recognized, under-compensated, under- appreciated, Front Line Warriors attack contaminants with a fierceness unmatched, for the benefit, and life safety of ALL others.
