Playtime Comments : [TED] Learning from dirty jobs | Mike Rowe

Ce**:

16:44 "How many people have their BlackBerry" and that's how you know this video is 10 years old

Me****:

19:14 "If I were running for anything, and I'm not,..." I don't know if he would make an overall effective President, but if I were ever President, I would want him on my cabinet, possibly as Secretary of Labor, or I would at least want him as an advisor in some capacity. People should listen to what he has to say. They should have listened to him 12 or 13 years ago, whenever he first started talking about the war on work and the need to fill skilled labor jobs.

Mi***:

2:48
Squirming in my chair.

e1***:

15:24 "we've declared war on work"

te***********:

13:06 Mission first. Safety always!

Le**************:

13:04 Safety is #1 Priority

Ch************:

This guy is a phenomenal speaker. That twenty minute speech seemed like just a few.

TM****:

Mike Rowe drunk is probably smarter than half the people at that conference, that being said he is twice as entertaining than all of them. God Bless Mike Rowe
I just added an item to my Bucket List ... I want to drink a Beer with Mike Rowe

Ca********:

Eloquent, honest, charismatic speaker...love Mike Rowe.

Mi**********:

This guy pays attention to everything. Amazing guy.

Pi******:

The man reached enlightenment through some lamb balls on his face.

Ar***********:

I miss Dirty Jobs.

Cl**********:

This would have been the greatest graduation speech ever.

Al**************:

Wow, this guy. Now I’m just questioning my own intellect.

Co***********:

Mike Rowe is a legend. I love him so much! He is well-spoken, intelligent, and modest at the same time. I could listen to him all day talking about taxes and insurance and I wouldn't be bored at all!

Ba***********:

I love this video so much, especially about the lambs. So much of animal activism is wrong and does harm. The people who are knee deep in it for years have had the discovery and the sudden lightbulb moments long ago. The activist hasn't had all of the knee-deep realizations and stays in his ignorance instead of the years of chores through weather, chores through human sickness, and moving tons of manure. Our worlds revolve around animals in deed not just speech.

In************:

I would probably vote for Mike Row if he ran for president

Ry********:

This one touched me deeply. I am a diesel mechanic and very good at my job. I did not enjoy my work because society and my family told me it wasn't good enough. I then met my best friend and greatest mentor a 42 year old lesbian diesel mechanic who asked me if I truly did not enjoy my work or if I did not enjoy it because I was told It was not good enough. from that day on I can enjoy my work. I can go to work every day with my head held high because I take pride in getting every customer vehicle repaired as quick and inexpensive as possible. I'll never make millions but I can look back on the hundreds of people that expected a thousand dollar bill but using my skills I was able to solve the problem for less than $200.

ma*************:

He's got a great point about "war on work". Even though I think the term Millenial has annoying connotations, my fellow members of the Millennial generation and I have been raised to consider such "blue collar" jobs to be below us. We're supposed to go to college right after high school, "get a degree! Follow your dreams!" Harsh reality is there may not be a demand for my passions, and degrees are no longer a guarantee. We should be more thankful to find any kind of work, rather than trying to get promoted instantly [and I mean that last part, because there are too many of my peers who expect to be near the top of companies before they hit thirty. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's probable]

ja******:

Im a welder. Proud of my skill. Dude is dead on.

da****************:

This guy is a superb orator. So gifted. So exceptionally bright. And that voice he has!

Ti*******:

The I-phone exists because some genius invented it... But, the only reason YOU have one, is BECAUSE a lot of people work menial jobs to provide them at an affordable price.. If the geniuses at Apple had to make them one at a time in their lab, you couldn't afford one. Ordinary people make amazing things commonplace in our world...not geniuses.

Mi*********:

One of the best and most reasonable talks i've heard so far.

Da**********:

Incredibly speaker, perfect balance Of simplicity and articulation.

As********:

Dirty jobs aren't for everyone, but everyone should know about them. Sheltering kids from dirty work, shaming these professions will not only weaken our infrastructure, but also polarize our society in a way that will benefit no one. People often overlook the intelligence of blue collar workers. Many of these guys and gals have immense knowledge and experience in their fields, some of the wisest individuals you'll ever come across. There will always be laborers and intellectuals.

Da***********:

Son, I'm not here to get you home safely, I'm here to get you home rich ... Captain of the boat

So*********:

"Son, My job is not to get you home alive, it is to get you home rich. If you want to get home alive, that's on you." Yeah I would probably be all about safety at that point too.

ma**********:

Abraham Lincoln once said, ‘character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing’.

Dr***********:

I was an electrician, dump truck driver, gardener, and missionary before I became a doctor (I went to college a bit later in life). I like to think all these experiences have made me a better physician.

bi******:

He’s a great man, telling it like it is.

mu**************:

This is one Ted talk worth sharing. Especially with the kids who see failure in NOT being destined for a college degree.

Ge**********:

So glad I clicked on this talk!

Jo*******:

So inspiring on so many levels. Mike’s articulation was amazingly so precise and true. Great practicer and reminder(er?) of the foundation of what made this country-the skilled worker. Funny, I am not “a worker”, but do observe and support union craft persons perform every facet of heavy civil, bridge and tunnel construction - and love the “OSHA-Ocean” story/video: I do show that “safety third” during training sessions. Thank you so much for the video and positive representation of our true hard working people in dirty jobs.

Th**************:

I wanted to hear a faint groan when he spoiled "6th sense."

JK*********:

Rowe is right. I'm a carpenter. Made $103,000 last year with a 15 min commute.

Ti***:

Mike Rowe has his own kind of genius.

Ma*********:

Some of the happiest people in this world go home smelling to high heaven.

Jo*********:

I’m an electrician. Mike Rowe is dead on.

A year ago I was on a job at a high school (the same I went to) when a classmate who became a teacher saw me working. We talked and he asked me what happened. I was so good in school and would’ve done well in college, he said. I didn’t tell him, but I made over double what he makes without the debt. During my apprenticeship I worked 50 hour weeks while also taking classes twice a week after work.

To many people, the trades are for people who failed in life or weren’t intelligent enough to go to college. Its what people who can’t think do for a living. I can’t even begin to explain how wrong that is nor how good of a career a person can have in the trades. I am constantly challenged to think through very practical problems. I use math and science daily. I must be able to read and understand everything from architectural plans to circuitry diagrams to equipment manuals.

I made 104k last year at age 36. I owned my own home without a mortgage and was married by 28. My children will have every avenue available to them as they grow up, be it college or trades or anything else, because I can save for their education starting from before they were even born. I have challenging and fulfilling work, and at the end of a day I can look at what I had done and feel as though I accomplished something useful and needed. I’ll retire by age 55 easily if I so desire with a healthy pension.

I can live with the mockery. Any of you looking for a good career absolutely should look into the trades. Welders especially are in high demand. You can make obscene money if you weld, especially if you specialize into something like hazardous or underwater welding. I know some mid-20s guys that made over 150k welding last year on a bridge.

wi**********:

My very first job I was supposed to be a carpenter's apprentice. My boss was my carpentry teacher in high school. I was stoked and was only 16. I arrive at his house bright and early on Saturday with my ride who also worked for him for 5+ years. I had new tools and my lunch with me. He comes out and walks me over to a small field next to his home, carrying a sledge hammer. All kinds of thoughts racing through my head. "You see all these large rocks and boulders? I'm building a garage in this field and need them all smashed into smaller rocks so I can remove them. We'll be back in 8 hours." Then he and his other worker left. I thought it was a joke, but there I stood in the field with dozens of boulders the size of picnic tables. So I began. I'd love to say it was cool and cloudy but it wasn't. After 4 hours I stopped to eat my lunch, also stopping occasionally to drink water. Sure enough after 8 hours both he and his worker returned and I had cleared the field and reduced all the boulders down to basketball sized rocks. Hands covered in blisters. He thanked me and paid me what we agreed on per hour and said nothing else. On our way home I asked his other worker who gave me a ride what the deal was. "Was I ever going to learn actual carpentry or was I just going to be used for manual labor?" He told me with a smile, "Smashing those rocks all day wasn't your job, it was your audition". Sure enough the next weekend I started learning roofing, siding, building additions, remolding kitchens, ect. I worked for him for 7 1/2 years before he retired and I moved on and worked for a component manufacturer for the next 20+ years. The skills I learned with him I've used my entire adult life from hanging doors, sheetrock, trim and moldings, windows, you name it. In life you will always have those days of smashing rocks in the hot sun, how you handle it will also show you how you'll handle just about everything that comes your way.

Ta*****************:

Absolutely spot on and ahead of his time! Since I was a kid, as far back as I can remember, i knew I wanted to be in construction. I was treated like an idiot from alot of people but persevered. I am so proud of what I do and my kids think that I am a hero. I am a heavy equipment operator that installs underground sewer, storm and water pipe. Without people like me, others would not be able flush their toilets, the streets would be flooded and fire fighters would not not have any hydrants. Awesome speaker. Thank you Mike!
