Mike Rowe

The introduction of the video says Mike Rowe is an opera singer and has done bits for the Baltimore Opera, also an air pitchman for QVC, and also a longtime host for “Dirty Jobs”. In his video he mentions about what jobs he seen. But let me start from start to beginning. He talks about the real problem is college and that we push kids go get a four-year degree and causes trillions of dollars’ in debt, they need a skill gap to do this. He mentions a welder that makes one-hundred dollars from Butler, North Dakota and said he loves it because it pays well. To me that’s good money for just welding and will not mine that. He also says that they are sleeping on community college, because he heard from his counselor when he was young its below your potential. He was kind of upset that he heard that and also “Work smart NOT hard”. So he changed it to “Work smart and hard”. Speaking of this Mike Rowe does not support that taxpayers should payoff student loans, for kids that have no hope paying it back.

            Also the cost of a degree has increased five hundred times since the 80’s and Mike Rowe cannot believe this is not daily headlines, because he says he is Anti-debt with this kind of stuff. You can do anything with your work ethics to manage this. He also mentions his grandfather could do anything with just an eighth grade education he had strong work ethics.

            The development of a strong work ethic is being too suspicious for being too easy and the wiliness to find and communicate. He asks a guy from Wisconsin cleans septic tanks and ask him what he do before this, he was a guidance counselor and was just tired of hearing other peoples’ “B.S.”. He owns his business and is very happy with because of his sting work ethics. With all this it reminds me of the farm near Cameron, I still want get a degree in Agribusiness. Because it’s the passion I have and I love to do it, by that I mean by selling cows. I sat in an office before and its boring, because I want strong work ethics.

            There is also jobs that concerns Mike Rowe, because of credentials of what people have. He went to Marine Corp Ball and talked with a medic from the Marines. He cannot find work because he does not have credentials and Mike Rowe hates when somebody can do it, but do not have the credentials. Also the interviewer says about earnings in 2012, that a person with a high school diploma makes $652 with unemployment of 8.3% and a person with a bachelor’s degree makes $1056 with unemployment of 4.5%.

            We have become efficient, but the more efficient we become a less work force we will have. Which is kind of a Karl Marx thing with it. Mike Rowe loves welders, because they are an industrial art in what they do. The opportunity for a welder is that they pay well and there is a underserve with it. Basically everything requires these things.
