My father was a shop/ metals/ drafting/auto mechanics/ woodworking teacher for 20 years. One day he got a notice from the high school he had been at since his student teaching days that theybwere cutting his programs and he wouldn't have a job the next year. It gutted my father a 20 years later he still is a shell of the man he was. He changed young kids lives with those programs. He took the unmotivated, the uninterested, the unreachable and gave them all a place to take pride in something. In our community I still have men, years older than me shake my hand when they find our who my father was and say "your dad changed my life". Most of the time they are wearing auto mechanic uniforms or driving a service truck for a tire company or a construction company.. my father took kids that would have never made it through school and/or life if it wasn't for the arts Mr. Rowe is talking about and gave them useful skills that gave them good, honest careers in there own communities.

I have so much respect for Mike Rowe. He speaks so much common sense.

Went to welding school for 7 months and now Im making 25 an hour. As someone who literally had nothing before, enrolling in trade school was the best decision I ever made.

Do not sleep on trade work. Dirty hands, clean money.

"Who you are is more valuable than what you do" -- good words.

[ianmackenzie]

Another issue: At least when I was in high school, shop classes were viewed as "second class, " where the non-intellectuals went. Certainly looked down upon. What a shame.

I worked as a butcher for 40 years. Lugging beef, cold room, no windows. Had fun everyday. Made friends.Even learned to speak Spanish.
Raised three kids and had good insurance.... life is what you make it.

I graduated high school thinking I'd go into teaching because that was what I was pushed to do. While in college I had a great professor that found something that he saw I enjoyed doing and encouraged me to check out a path I never thought about. Now I'm fixing band instruments in a music store and absolutely love what I do

Im a CNC Machinist and 30 years old and enjoy my job everyday. No college debt and can say i have a good life. People should learn to live off what they have or make and not what they want or others have. Find happiness in what is around you. Some of the saddest poorest people are the richest financially.

Growing up on a farm was a God send for learning excellent life skills !

I joined the US Army as a truck driver. After serving my eight year term I went to my university and doubled major and double minored.
Guess what I have been doing for the last twenty years, being one of the most safest truck drivers out there. Yeah, I haven't earned one penny from what I learned in the university, but I have made thousands of dollars from what I learned in the US Army.

[protorhinocerator]

I had to explain this to my son. We tend to identify with our jobs. But that's not who we are.
You're a human being, not a human doing.
You are who you are regardless of what you're doing at the time.

[jacobmaez]

We’ve convinced a generation of people that fulfillment comes through our work, making the assumption that our job is what gives us our value. This is a conversation happening on both the left and right, I truly think this is one of the most important battles in the next decade we’ll see go down. A complete societal shift

At 18 years old you can get $100, 000 loan for “school”. But can’t get a $30, 000 business loan. Think about that one

When I was 7, my dad showed me how to take apart the bike, clean out the old axle grease, and repack it, along with other bike maintenance tasks. By the time I was 10 I was using the jig saw, and by 15 the table saw. And yes, I had industrial arts classes in Jr. High. In the 1960's and 70's, when I was growing up, industry was still king in the USA. Many parents taught their kids skills, along with the schools. I passed it on as well. My son and grandson do woodworking. It is not only the schools, is the parents too.

[daalnweaver]

When I was growing up your work history and ethics and your word.. was all you needed to succeed in life.... sadly that is no more

[alteregos]

“Dirty Jobs” was such a great show, Mike Rowe really had a great gig going showing the world the bowels of the work force.

[chippedspline]

Education turned into a business rather than the good for all Involved.

[michaeltuohey]

Mike Rowe for President! Seriously, we need a guy like this for America!

[winstonsmith]

I am a psychologist. I went to all public colleges / university. I got a job in academia. Been working there for about 12yrs now. I still owe more $ in student loans than I make in two years salary. We have two incomes in this house. My family could never survive on my income alone. I've always loved Mike Rowe, and I share videos of him with my students all the time. I'll be showing them this one as well

[SilverWatcher.]

Everytime I hear Mike Rowes voice I grow as a man and a individual.
He taught me to work hard.
Years later I'm in tears he tells me love myself.
Love not what you do but who you are. Wish I had these words with me years ago.
