12-15 dollars an hour?  Perhaps I should clean up shit and puke for that wage.  I'm doing worse in the manufacturing industry.

I changed it to 9 dollars an hour. but the average yearly salary is 25k. Thats more than i make in a 9-12 month period making 10.28 an hour.

Yep.  I don't believe I made more than that working for 10.70 with some overtime.  To make 25k a year working ~40 hours a week would be about 12 to 13 at the least.  Don't forget schools are shut down a lot (summer, winter holidays, etc). 

I'm not going to pretend to understand exactly how these disturbed human beings think, or act like I can put myself directly in their frame of mind. But am I allowed to make the assumption that when they go into the school guns blazing, it's often 1) unexpected and unnanounced, and 2) in a school light on (or bereft of) security or custodial crew armed with firearms? I imagine the shooters aren't completely psycho and beyond manner or logic, and if their aim is to take as many lives as possible, this is best achieved by first eliminating the biggest threats.

It also seems like you're assuming janitors can suddenly perform at the level of trained officers when bullets suddenly start flying and things get real. I'd venture to guess that simply putting a gun into a custodial worker's possession doesn't suddenly teach that person how to not panic, identify threats, manage a crowd or subdue a threat while minimizing casualties. I'm sure these people would receive some training to that effect, nowhere near the level you'd expect of a police officer. Otherwise, they'd just be police officers.

Most people don't know janitors make good coin (working for private companies, at least). I have a friend that dropped out of college to become a janitor, and he pretty much makes the same as me without wasting the thousands of dollars to pay for a degree.

I made 25k one year in my life (in '07) and I was making 11 dollars an hour and 60 hours a week for the last three months of the year. 9.75 at 50 hours a week for the middle 6 months and 8.50 and 30 hours a week for the first two months (I was out for a month because my lung collapsed). Those are rough estimates of course.

Anyway, I said 9-12 months because not every janitorial position is at a school thats closed during those times.

My baby's momma's grandpa was a higher level janitor... I don't exactly know what he did but he made great money. (Enough for a 3 level 4 bedroom house). Ofcourse he worked it damn near his whole life. The grandma was pissed at me and talked shit about me because I didn't take them up on their offer to
take a position in the inner city school of chicago. Here's the kicker though, I averaged 30 hours a week at target making about the same an hour as I would as a janitor (10 dollars an hour), target was a mile down the road while Chicago was 40 miles, and the government paid for my school and at the end of each semester I got a check for 1,500 in left over grant money. That family was the dumbest fucking family I have ever known

i guess they cant hire illegal workers as a janitor now... kidding

wait 2 days???

wtf!?

in 2 days, people will be so accurate on shooting that kids receiving a stray bullet from a 2 day trained guy is next to impossible.... 

Not at all, that's why I'm against the janitors carrying but at the same time the shooter needs to confront an armed personel too.

I doubt the 2 days would have any substantial amount of target practice. It would probablly be more educational of how to evaluate the situation and the proper way to react to the situation. When to fire and not fire. Get to know the hand guns features such as ammunition, trigger, saftey, ect ect... Probably a short time in the range
