My mom always told me: "You can't always do what you want to do. But you can learn to like what you have to do."

A warrior doesn't give up what he loves. He finds the love in what he does.

I retired at 60. My passion is not having to get up and be somewhere every morning.

Literally how I fell into welding. I got tired of all the shit jobs and I set my sights on something I thought was for me and I’m glad I did everyday I wake up I love what I do and I make good money. Always keep your passion because that will allow you to succeed when the world against you 🙏

Employers and consumers rewarding labor with wages that keep pace with housing and healthcare costs would reduce quiet quitting. We know why some employers have an easier time of finding labor.

I love Mike Rowe’s perspective
(and his voice, and his mannerisms… Love that he’s unapologetically a MAN, encouraging work in the skilled trades, and motivating the next generation. ❤

It's not a passion for the job itself, it's a passion for what it means. I did pest control for over 20 years, and loved the fact that I was solving problems for people and making their lives better. If I was able to do that by being an investment banker or a doctor, it would have been fueled by the same passion to help people.

I love this guy! He is both wise and filled with common sense!

Thanks for explaining this, because it describes my first career. In high school I visited the guidance counselor for help in picking a profession. I dreamed of doing some kind of science research. I looked through his office's career listings. It was 1979, and our school didn't have PC's or laptops. But when I saw that a computer scientist made top $$, my eyes lit up. I enrolled as a Computer Science major, switched to Management Info. Systems, and became a business systems analyst/designer. I wanted computers in science, but the $$ and jobs were in business. It was worth it to forego part of my dream. But I've had some challenging, fun, and well-paid jobs. (Ha, eventually I went back to college and got a 3 year degree in ministry...worked with people for peanuts .)

What people don’t get is when things get tough…….. don’t ever give up! I moved 13 hours from where I used to call home. I was not happy where I was in life so I made a radical change in my life! I went to work in Alberta’s oilfield, I got my class one license and was off to the races! I never gave up I simply tried something new and ran with it, I tend to get quite busy with my job but I found a way to love it. Most days it does not even feel like work! My grandfather who was a ww2 vet went to school I believe in his 40s to become a chiropractor. That man worked day shift and attended night school. That man busted his ass to follow his dream later in life, moral of the story if things are not working out never give up try a different approach!

The only passion to follow is your love of food and shelter. Then find a job you can tolerate, then learn to love that provides food and shelter.

Learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable turns discomfort into fun…kept the passion for forty years.

I work maintenance because I am good at it. You helped me see the value of my work. I do not get paid very much. Me and my wife live on less than 15k a year. We are ok so long as I don't get hurt, she's disabled. I'm not sure where all this pay is you talk about. I feel like you should not tell people that there are people doing what I do making 6 figures. If there are, I have never met one in my 20 years fixing and building. If you actually read this, I'm actually curious. Where are these jobs? I'm 42.

[MeenaAdnani]

Passion indeed fuels our aspirations, but it's essential to not only have it but also to actively follow and pursue it. Embracing your passion and taking steps to turn it into action can lead to remarkable achievements and personal fulfillment🌟🔥✨

[hasdrubal]

Truer words were never spoken. I followed my vocation, now I'm upskilling to carry out work others can't or won't do.

My dad always said, you either love the job, love the pay or love the people you work for/with.

Mike Rowe has provided an exceptional & truthful insight into the downfall of skilled labor & so called safety in the workplace. As a safety advisor in the civil & infrastructure construction industry for 23yrs, I myself have been trying to have workers realise the importance of their skills. I have also noticed the now nothing but propaganda on workplace safety by companies. I have tried very hard to individually empower workers to take ownership of their and their coworkers safety & to claim their rights to work in a safe environment but it has cost me dearly as companies do not appreciate empowerment of workers. As I have always said, these are hard working human beings, not donkeys and no job is worth you being injured or dying. No company has the right to own your soul! Remember this, no company can survive without a skilled labor work force but a skilled labor work force can survive without a company 😊

One crucial thing he doesn’t emphasize as much as he could is that some jobs lack any avenue for real fulfillment… they will never give you the feeling that you’re a contributing member of society. That’s what’s so undervalued by the trades: they give that amazing sense of accomplishment and purpose. After a day of washing windows or waiting tables I felt far better than a day writing legal briefs that no one would read (just creating paperwork to impress a client).

As a seven year old i decided to be an artist snd cartooning has always been the thing im most passionate about, i have made it a job i have walked away from that, also at seven i wanted to know about what my Dad did so i went with him to work and learned drywall I ended up doing that as a job too i work a night job now in a warehouse but i still do drywall on the side as well and of course the cartooning thing has mutated to childrens literature ide say imnliving my dream because i was raised to be realistic about it all
