If you want to make some despised activity respectable and highly paid (undertaking, for example), require a professional degree to do it. That's just what Jack Sim, president of
The World Toilet Organization, has done for the worst of all jobs: cleaning the toilet. He's established the world's first Toilet College in Singapore, at which
students will receive hands-on training on all things toilet.
According to Mr. Sim, "We are going to train the toilet cleaners to upgrade himself or herself to a level where he or she can take care of the entire toilet, including changing bulbs, repairing locks, repairing leaky taps, doing periodical heavy cleaning, technical cleaning, taking away urine salt inside the toilet and recommending changes to the toilet layout."
Funded partly by government agencies, the courses will teach cleaners to use new equipment and techniques from Japan. Cleaners will be given full responsibility for their toilets.
We at PoopReport certainly expect that our site will become required course reading. We also advise PoopReporters that if this Toilet College idea continues, you may be in high demand to fill faculty postions. Just imagine: Dr. Di Uhreea, Professor PooperGal, Dean Dave...

Editor's note: Logjam speaks with authority. He was once himself a toilet cleaner. He didn't have no fancy degree, though...
