Janitor sends his five kids to college for free 

MondoBeno wow. What a wonderful lady

@@BuddyMac69 I was wrong, she didn't legally adopt all of them, some were just her foster kids. But even if they were only staying with her as fister children, they could still attend for free under the "employee's kids attend for free" policy. The two she adopted legally were already 17 years old, so she didn't have to spend any money supporting them. I do, however, know one who got a job at the NYU cafeteria so her daughter could attend free of charge.

Wow that's amazing!

Brilliant!

lmao

Yeah he is! It's so crazy that college in the US costs so much. It's totally free here in Norway.

@Bonzo 33% + 25% tax on everything you buy. It's totally worth it though. If I loose my job I will get money from my government, I got paid to go to school, totally free hospital trips good infrastructure and lots of other stuff

@@maximilianjohandson3382 exactly highest HDI in the world

​@@maximilianjohandson3382 Yeah... I lived in France and Germany for a while. It's not as wonderful as everyone likes to think. I experienced the healthcare system in France several times and the quality is not nearly as good as here in the US. Toward the end of my stay, I only went to private hospitals and doctors, which do cost more, but the care was totally worth it. College should not be free. I am back in the US right now, I'm going to community college right now, got a grant, don't have any debt, and will transfer to a state university. Yes, I probably will have some debt, but I expect that because it is an investment in my future that will be easy for me to pay off once I have a good income. The public education system in France is also under-impressive, especially the universities. When people don't have to pay for school, and can choose to not work and get money from the gov't each month, there is no incentive to get an education and work hard. That is something that I noticed during my time there: there was a lack of work ethic that stemmed directly from the fact that everybody was dependent upon the government. Looking back on history, when citizens have ever been dependent upon the government, that's what allows the government to easily control the people, which creates a dystopian, authoritative system. Don't buy into the stupid socialized crap, it's really not that great.

@@maximilianjohandson3382 By the way, people make the choice to go to expensive schools voluntarily, without thinking about the return value of their education. If someone goes to school for $30,000 a year and gets a useless degree in art, then yeah, they are dumb. Why not go to community college, then a public university?

Was someone besides you putting him down?

Yeah he deserves respect his occupation has nothing to do with that you fool.

You are the one putting him down like he is low status.

30 years ago they guy pushing a broom could afford a 3 bedroom apartment and car payments.

@@dbspaceoditty that is true

It sounds easy.. but the first requirment is the kids get accepted, which is quite hard to got into BC

@@rali2774 In these kind of colleges, alumni recommendations are important. Think this scenario, some students are fond of this guy and wrote nice letters for the first child. Then, she wrote a nice letter for her siblings...

hash2ash , Good idea. Think I am moving to Germany 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine if he has 6 kids but he only mentions 5...

Thats more than half a mill in n tuitions

🤣🤣🤣 that kid would have to vaccum the stairs next to dad!

@@jj62024 odds are even slimmer especially to a highly competitive school like BC, best bet is grad school.

It was never going to happen with that support network and even if it had, they would celebrate alternative success!

JDeffenb- Then let the other kids who got in graduate, start making money, and send the one who didn't get in to a state college, paying in-state tuition. Period. They'd all be alright. Some folks are graduating from prestigious schools are working as bartenders (nothing wrong with being a bartender by the way), barely making enough money for student loans. And others graduating from community colleges making six-figures, with no student loan. It's all what you do with what you got, sensible planning, and determination. At any rate, this was a very good story. Love it.

I can, both my parents were dirt poor went to college & expected the same for us but is all about grades & not about ethics, values or morals so you end up being less than.

Uh…I think he got paid too. The beginning of the show said the colleges policy is that if you WORK here your kids can go here. By very definition he is getting paid. He’s not switching pay for tuition. They don’t pay janitors that much no matter how long they work there. (Nothing but respect for janitors)

depends on where you work, there are some janitors that get paid over time and were making more then $100,000 working for public transit system in NYC MTA, and San Francisco BART.

Rayne I agree. I never had a dad, but if I had, he would have been perfect.

pep Um I’m pretty sure you did actually have a dad...

I hope they are. Be sad to if he's still working as a janitor

And the answer to all the equations came out to be $700,000.

Good Will Hunting. Anyone? Anyone?!?!

@@laustinyoureyes6899 we get it...

how you like them apples ?

It is a payback to their workers.... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I didn't like the way they portrayed the story either. It's part of the benifits the university offers its employees.

You covered this well. Effort was required.

Capricorn ,.give credit to parents who have 5 kids that even want to go to college. I would think the college would be proud too.

999___888 You are clearly misinformed or delusional.

There are janitors who make 100k.

his real job is father and provider for his kids. i think he succeeded in that.

Marine-One Roman no check mate

+David Morgan - Exactly what I thought. I am not a big fan of the scripted recipe of many "American way" journalism clips, but this is good workmanship right here. Right on point to the people at CBS, but of course much respect to the KING of dads.

Well said David!

I did love that ending

a lot of schools offer that benefit. Typically you have to be working there 5 years or more to get it.

Never disrespect a working man. I never put down someone for earning an honest wage. Just cause you may get paid more, have more education, etc...doesn’t mean you are better than them.

Puertorriqueña en Florida right lol

Agreed. His kids are better educated than him, but he's the smart one.

As private schools will just raise the tuition for others arbitrarily and state schools can't

@@privateeromally7347 I attend a state university it's a very good university but very hard to get in you have to have very good grades and test scores ( ACT SAT TSI ) . Because I live in state and near the university as well as in the state it's in my tuition is much cheeper vs those who live out of the area or state. For me it's about $3,910 per semester depending on my classes.

Arie Frasier - As someone who knows firsthand, however, state school often offer discounts. Maybe not free tuition but discounts. If you can get a 25% each year, it's like paying for only 3 years instead of 4 when it's all done. Live at home (if possible) instead of campus. You'll be alright.

Just as you go on and continue to disrespect him by calling him a janitor they prefer to be called custodians

Professors children are smarter than janitors due to exposure to books and better education

all janitors at other prestigou colleges. got grandkids to put thru college.

looked like three of them studied management, one liberal arts and one nursing and with it being such a prestedious colledge I would guess somthing in that sector?

A million dollars is the end goal
