I really do believe that mike Rowe's article is very valid and very informative. This video really is very important but I don’t fill that it really changes my decisions and blinn as of right now. I’m going to just keep doing what I feel I need to do and that is being pediatrician. I love kids and want to help those who really need help and make a better life for them.

What stood out to me is that he says the posters are only going to be 10 bucks but says if he can get one in every guidance counselor office he will give all the money to a scholarship foundation. He says that money and getting the job done is more important than safety. He really speaks the truth threw his video and really gives you something to think about. Nothing he says is anything we don’t know its just a very important video.

He says ATM’s are taking everyone jobs right now as we speak. He says you can’t assume the opportunity will happen must make it happen. The greatest enemy of freedom is total anarchy and the second reason is total efficiency. He really just tells us his bad experience with a high school guidance counselor, why he provides scholarships based on work ethic, the problem with taxpayer- supported college loans, why America demonizes dirty jobs, the happiest day of his life, why following your passion is terrible advice.


Why it’s so hard to hire good people, the hidden cost of regulatory compliance, the problem with Obama's promise to create shovel ready jobs, efficiency versus effectiveness, and life after Dirty Jobs. He says "If lending money that ostensibly we don’t have kids who have no hope of making it back in order to train them for jobs that clearly don’t exist, I might suggest that we’ve gone around the bend a little bit," says TV personality Mike Rowe, best known as the longtime host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs.

"There is a real disconnect in the way that we educate vis-à-vis the opportunities that are available. You have - right now - about 3 million jobs that can’t be filled," he says, talking about openings in traditional trades ranging from construction to welding to plumbing. " Jobs that typically parents’ don’t sit down with their kids and say, ‘Look, if all goes well, this is what you are going to do."
