I'm in a landscaping program and many people go from there to the groundskeepers on campus, it's a great place to get experience and still be somewhat 'safe' in your job before heading out for your own business.

This cartoon failed to make it's point. (And anyone who thinks it did needs to look at their perspective, we see grounds keeping as a "bad" profession right now because guess who mostly fills that job?)
