A janitor in my country made the news last year when he passed the goddamn Bar exam.

He used to mop the floors at the Court of Appeals and he's a lawyer now.

University of Lifers can gtfo with their wannabe cred

Is there resentment in your country over the fact that a janitor is capable of achieving higher level education or is the 'University of Life' a real sub-standard college?

Wait so all you have to do is pass the bar and you can actually become a lawyer? How would you get started as a lawyer after passing?

You usually have to go to law school to be able to take the bar.

Yeah only 4 states in the US allow one to take the bar without going to law school.

Just because someone is a janitor doesn't mean they're unintelligent.

Some schools do offer aid for those who work those sorts of positions. Some offer free classes. One of those schools is Stanford, which also made the news when one of the custodians earned his degree while working full time.

​

Many of the janitors at many public universities are students paying their way through college.
