- Today we're excited to be talking to actor, author, and podcast host Mike Rowe - that's right, the "Dirty Jobs" guy. We talk about success and fulfillment in today's world, where college is more expensive than ever (not to mention the leftist indoctrination). But, as Mike explains, college is really not the sure-fire path to a career that it once was. Mike offers what he thinks success means after his own wild ride through life and the mindset that young people should have as they prepare to join the workforce and build a career.

Mike Rowe’s 3 Steps to Finding a Job You Love | Ep 572
![[FULL EP.69] #เอิร์นจิรวรรณ เปิดบ้านหมื่นล้านทุกมุม ครั้งแรก! l เคหสถานบานปลาย l One Playground](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_J4_nw8c64o/mqdefault.jpg)
My excessively educated college professor father told me college was overrated. I've learned more from life, books, and the internet than I ever learned in college. Just needed the degree to get a job that has nothing to do with the degree. They just want a degree. My kids aren't going to college unless they need a specific education.
The old world billionaires use their Saturday Night Live shows and such to brainwash people to think Satan is only a cartoon, whilst they themselves practice the same Satanism that was being done all throughout the Old Testament. ---------------------------------------------- You need to wake up before qay ped ohs are on your sons and cannibalism is as real as when the natives were systematically eating people at the pyramids in Mexico. The billionaire folk were enslaved near the pyramids of Satanic E-jipt. Mexican drug cartels now require their members to eat people. Lack of education brings the same Satanism to modern people. ----------------------------------------------- Even an Islamic hadith says Mohamed sucked his nephew's lips or tongue and then said, “Allah, I so love him....” This must be why qay ped oh fee lya is rampant in Islam. One hadith says Mohamed married a 6 year old. Qur-ann 46 & 72 tells of magical Jinn people liking & helping spread the Qur-ann when it first came out. It says Satan was a Jinn.
Tell others.
did they at least give you a higher salary than the average salary?
@@layth6857 no. A degree is in the job description. No degree, no job. It's a good paying job. Just odd that they care only about a degree and don't seem to care about experience.
I went to a four year college this past fall and realized that it wasn't the right path for me. My humanities classes were something I was excited for, but they ended up being overrun by woke ideology. I left after one semester there and I'll now be attending mortuary school this upcoming fall and I'm very happy about my decision and I'm grateful for the help that God has given me during my school journey.
“Don’t follow your passion, bring it with you.”
Awesome guy. Mike Rowe is very smart. His work ethic message is what we need in America.
I love Mike Rowe and dirty jobs and his wisdom!
So appreciate Mr. Rowe's advice. Wish I followed it instead of spending thousands of dollars on an unfinished college degree.
You're an excellent interviewer, Allie. You ask interesting questions and give your guest plenty of time to answer. Mike Rowe is great!
P.S. Not that you asked but, my only advice is to uncross your arms. It seems stand-offish, which of course you are not.
Uh oh...
Mike said those two forbidden words!
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY 😲🙈
I loved this episode!! And I am of course a huge fan of Dirty Jobs. I have homeschooled my kids the majority of their schooling years, and my husband and I decided several years ago that unless they really wanted to go to college, we would not push it. I am so glad we did as they have pursued their own interests and love figuring out ways to earn money minus the overrated degree. I have two young adult daughters that are thriving in society and they don't have the liberal ideas to wade through and because they were at home helping with my husband's self-employed business, they are hard workers, too. Thanks Allie and Mr. Rowe for encouraging this younger generation that it is ok and honorable to not attend college.
Mike Rowe is a great interview period. Ibhave never watched one that was not interesting. Especially when the libs try to interview him. Great job Allie Beth
I would love to see a lib interview him
Mike Rowe is probably one of the smartest people on this planet! My Dad is up there too when he was on this rock. As a college professor, advisor, middle- and high-school teacher and career coach, I am convinced that not everyone should go to college. I told my students all the time to seek out a passion (like Mr. Rowe said) and follow that path. Mike, you are having too much fun, but I wish you could run for office :) xoxo
Great interview! Please have Mike back again soon!
Even back in the 70s votech schools were being frowned upon. School boards did not accept decades of experience in a trade as adequate skill to teach others that skill. They insisted on teaching certification and terminated any who could or would not obtain one. It crippled the quality of the education. Luckily now more young people then ever are entering vocational schools and apprenticeship programs
Love this interview. Thank you Allie!
We discouraged my step son from jumping right into college. He spent 2 years training search and rescue dogs then decided to become a veterinarian. He's glad he took the time to try something new and think things over rather than rushing into computer science as he had planned to do.
After high school, I waited 4 1/2 years to go to college, and I knew from Day 1 that I wanted a degree in journalism. I worked two part-time jobs while in school full time, was active in the Baptist Student Union and had a $3,000 loan to pay off when I graduated (1989, state school) because I had scholarships and grants. My monthly loan payment was $30 😊 and I paid off the $3k early. As a budget coach, I tell people that college is not a right, but a privilege. Allie, thanks for having Mike as a guest! I love him (and I love his mom).
Great interview! So much wisdom from Mr. Rowe.
I definitely grew up with the assumption of going to college. It's just what you did. When I have children I'm not going to keep from going to college but I'll definitely make known to them that they have other options.
Exactly
Thanks for having Mike on! Loved the interview
I loved this episode! I listen to you all the time, Allie. I'm a mother of 3 boys from 13-24 years old...so I'm definitely sharing this one with my adult kids that are just entering their adult lives. I know I could have used this advice when I was 18! Thank you for your wide erray of subjects. You're always keeping it fresh and interesting!
This man’s voice is incredibly calming😌 he sounds so wise and thoughtful
You've probably heard his voice many times on documentaries and commercials and animated shows. He does thousands of voice work jobs. And it doesn't hurt that he was an opera singer!
The local community college here offers a CNC programming certificate (18-month) which is a high-tech machinist training program - work actually making products. The instructor of this program tells me every one of his graduates has an instant set of offers upon graduation. They can choose to either stay in the local area and get a $40,000 job starting, or move to the larger nearby city and earn $60,000 starting. The college can't seem to get enough applicants for the program, because they don't know how to sell their program, and because high-school students are deluded by their counselors and the culture at large into the "4-year university degree". Until we break this cultural indoctrination the skills gap will remain, Mike is right.
The jobs I've enjoyed most were usually ones that had a combination of desk-related tasks and hands-on tasks. Most of the pure "desk jobs" I did I was never that successful at doing. I feel like I wasted my time (and my parents' money) going to college. A skilled trade would have served me better.
Part of the disconnect that's occurring right now, is that companies hire based on the assumption that if you have a 4-year degree it's a good indicator you have a good, somewhat broad baseline education and will just need to be trained in the specifics for a particular job, so they list a 4-year degree as a requirement unless you have X years of experience in the field. My husband had to work two jobs AND go back to school for a 4-year degree (while I was at home raising our three young children basically on my own) just to be considered for a good job in the area where we live. Until the people in charge of hiring at these companies realize that a 4-year degree doesn't mean much of anything anymore because so many young people graduate college not having really LEARNED anything (other than why this country and its values are backwards and horrible, of course) then this problem is not going to get any better.
Another thing we ran into when our kids were graduating high school, is that many of the academic scholarships required the student to move directly from high school into college. Taking a break for a year or so to try out different types of jobs (like Mike Rowe suggested even in this podcast, and is something I have been advocating for several years) to see what field they might really be interested in, wasn't an option if they wanted a chance at the top scholarships. That led to our daughter switching majors in the middle of college, which is fine because she was happy and graduated on time, but it led to our oldest son getting VERY burnt out because he was miserable in the field he thought he'd be most interested in, and dropping out after the first two years. He's in an electrical apprenticeship now and thriving, but he had several months of pretty severe depression because he felt like such a failure. The push for kids to KNOW what they want to do directly after high school is a huge problem, it really is.
CS Lewis in the Chronicles of Narnia; Mr Beaver describing Aslan, the lion representing Jesus: ""Course he isn't safe. But he's good". Safety is overrated too.
We have to trust our kids more. Teach them the satisfaction of hard work and they'll figure out a lot on their own. We worried about my step son. We thought he was a bit unmotivated. But he surprised us by finding something none of us could have imagined and that he really enjoyed....training search and rescue dogs. I mentioned in a previous post that he is now attending school to become a veterinarian. We over direct because we forget that God has a plan for each of us. We must have faith in all things.
love your story about your son becoming a vet, that is wonderful!
17:54 I call myself an Unlicensed Non-Certified historian (which sounds a lot better than a history nut :-) ). I spent my working life on The Factory Floor, making Stuff.
I loved shop class💖 So I was able to build with my home schooled boys growing up and all their friends.
Just discovered this video,, hopefully more people find it. My husband learned to do auto body work in high school through a work release class, after high school he went to a trade school to advance his knowledge. He still does this work and after 42 years of doing this he says he can't imagine doing anything else. He has made a good living doing this, and according to him he would have never made it in a college because he says he isn't "book smart" but I think he is a genius when it comes to taking a mangled car and making it look new. I am a property manager but never went to school for it. I worked in and around the building construction trades for 30+ years so I actually know what I'm doing. I have been managing a condominium complex for several years and have a good relationship with contractors that I hire because they don't have to explain things to me. Young people need more options presented to them.
Amazing guest! Loved everything he had to say!
Great episode! Thanks Allie and Mike!
My dirtiest job was when I was a teen and worked on maintenance projects during a factory shutdown. There had been a chemical fire, and I was the guy who mopped it up, picked up the pieces, etc. Lots of chemical mess. Of course, one good reason to join the Boy Scouts is the opportunity to clean latrines at an early age.
Love Mike Rowe. Just a common sense guy, who is educated.
I remember shop class. It was one of the best classes I attended. It was a mixture of wood and iron working and I absolutely loved it. It also gave me an appreciation of the trades that I’ve never doubted. I’m very sad these courses have disappeared. These courses give kids an alternative to just a college tracked education.
This is GREAT! I wish there was a website that listed the jobs in demand so that we can help our children find jobs that don't require a college degree. Anyone know of one?
Our kids are at a local state school, hopefully going to have our second graduate with ZERO debt. So far we have paid $1 in tuition and fees over the last two years for her. Thankful for scholarships.
Work is life! He and Victor Davis Hansen are intelligent enough to understand how important and valuable it is know how to make things, grow things and fix things. Yes and Elon Musk too.
I love what this guy has to say! Hehe, I'm one of those people from under a rock as I've never heard of him before. But thanks so much for including him on this issue.
Just wanted to share that your comment of virtual versus practical made me think "or promisers versus deliverers". One side promises at someone else's expense while the other side delivers at great personal expense. Great episode, Allie!
My daughter spent her 1st years at our local big community college. She did not care about school work in high school so she had to do some remedial work in math. She probably would have failed infshe had been in a 4 year university because she needed that help. I pushed her when she got out of high school to go to college. She taught small kids at the local gymnastics academy where she had gone herself. Parents were impressed with how she could get the kids to listen to her so I told her she would make a good teacher. So instead of going to "peace corp" she went to a Teaching college after her Associates degree from the local community college. She then drove 30 minutes one way to a local College and got her Teaching degree. Her college cost $3,000.00 which her grandmother loaned her. She is now homeschooling her 2 little girls after teaching for 3 years. She did not like teaching at a school so I doubt she will ever do that again. But it was good for her and having a degree always looks good on a job application. She is too independant though to work for someone else. Her dad hd a degree and I was a year away from a 5 year nursing degree. But her dad and I always had our own business so she never saw us as 9 to 5 people. I am just happy that she is happy and not in debt. I am also happy that her and her husband bought a house in 2009 with a big front and back yard. They have a business in their garage and were not affected when small businesses were shut down. I know that there are many families out there who are not so fortunate and I wish them all the best. Do not let your kids get in debt for higher education. It is not necessary to send your kids to a big university in another state that will leave you in debt.
I know that Mike Rowe is a man and one who never had any daughters at that, so I completely understand how this could have been unmentioned while discussing education. The point of education shouldn't be to make someone capable of earning a paycheck and one that makes them feel good about what they do. The point of an education is to feed a person's mind with ideas that will assimilate into the person and shape them as a whole. I appreciate him talking about other forms of education outside of just getting a degree. But the conversation needs to go a step farther. Not all people will or even should use their education in order to pursue a career path. Girls should receive an education with the role of future homemakers, wives, mothers, and home educators in mind. (I know that many women in our culture don't choose this path, but I firmly believe that this would be extremely beneficial for families and society.) As a child when an adult asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, saying a house wife, mother, and home educator would not of been an acceptable answer in a college/career centric society. Feed children's curiosity, give them a wide curriculum exposing them to many different subjects, give them free time to explore their own interests, lead them in a Biblical worldview. Educate them on the knowledge of God, the knowledge of man (history, languages, art, civics, music, etc.), the knowledge of the universe. Give them the resources to learn for themselves and the encouragement that education is a life that needs to be nourished as long as they themselves are alive. Give them an education on how to love and serve God, love and serve their neighbor, explore and observe the Created Order, and their biblical role within it. The rest will sort itself out as they follow God's will rather than the culture.
I've always respected truckers. No way I would mes with a truck on the road.
I was already working my dream job when i applied for university, learned nothing from there, only got a paper to show proof and people somehow showed more respect when they found out i had a degree, otherwise it was a waste of time for me personally.
Thx Allie and Mike
...I began college in September of 1967 imagining I wanted to become a lawyer...I actually had no idea what I wanted to do and that seemed 'cool' at that time....on the advice of a lawyer friend of my father's I took a 'good liberal arts' course...by the beginning of my junior year I realized I no longer wanted to be a lawyer or what I wanted to or could do once I'd gotten this degree...two days after I graduated on May of 1971 (51 years ago) I took my draft physical and within two hours of completing that exam I signed a letter of intent to enlist on the 28th of that month...IT WAS THE BEST THING I'VE DONE IN MY LIFE!!! By the age of 40 (it took long enough) I realized that instead of getting two practically useless degrees (BA & MA Ed) it would have been better if I'd learned a trade and gotten a marketable skill...
Mike. Rows is Awsome. 👍🖐️🤎
God bless Mikeee!
Allie: UNCROSS YOUR ARMS. Why were you in such a defensive position?
I LOVE Mike Rowe!! He should be president!!!
I owned a small lawn care company, I had dozens of people willing to pay me $20.00 an hour just to pull weeds out of flower beds. Hmm mow lawns for an average of $50.00 an hour or pull weeds for $20.00 an hour. I tried hiring school kids that where within walking distance from the job. Most never showed up. The one that did said he wanted to get paid, in his claimed 6 hours of working he had filled a 5 gal. bucket about 1/4 full, and there was no roots on the weeds. The same yard, the same time I could fill a 33 gal. trash can. I've tried hiring people that had no job, where couch surfing and it was a disaster. Always late owe did not show up. Running a trimmer with no sting in it. Hiding behind things talking one there cell phones to get out of working.
Love Mike Rowe!
A case of supply and demand. The colleges say we demand that you supply us!
I guess I live under a rock 🤷🏻♀️ lol
Jason Lewis while a MN talk show host years ago summarized the reason for the astronomical hike in cost of university education. I'll try to explain, but please find him saying it in his own words!
In the early 80s approximately, the tide began to turn, the powers that be recognized that colleges and universities could fill their schools if high school teachers and guidance counselors pushed it, media jumped in, etc. Around the same time greed (of the admin at colleges/universities)kicked in, and the greedy partnered with politicians (through money and other support/influence, as politicians are also easily greedy). The end result is the current system where the government (us) dumps insane amounts of money into higher education, people who go there see it as help and schools raised costs and salaries. It's a vicious circle now.
Wrote this re your appearance on Tucker -
I was a great student. I thought college was the thing to do. The moment I really started working after college, earning $, working full time- and I didn't really need the school for the job - I saw my 4 years differently. I didn't have student loans, but that would have made it even harder.
I studied, wrote papers, worked for college organizations, worked I n office jobs on college breaks. Partied, yes. But, I didn't have $ for a house, etc. I have grad degrees. I liked school 🙂 but seriously- if I had hit the ground running with an office job atv18 or 19, in a good company, built a retirement fund up etc etc. That would have been amazing. Maybe get a real estate license . Not complaining about my life at all. But follow Dave Ransey, learn that $ matters lol. And Dr Jordan Peterson , who gives grreat life advice. Yes, computers have changed so much.
I've literally seen some of my mistakes for decades. I'm so glad people are talking about this.
He is such a treasure!
This was a good interview.
Great interview.
THE KING OF TVCs!!!!!!!
Places still want a degree. I wanted to apply for a part time job at a music school. Basically front desk type of work. They wanted a degree.
Oh my god! I am here in Puerto rico and most jobs pay minimum wage. Wanna earn 10$/h, you need 4 yrs and experience.
Where I live, people can work at Target with no degree for $24/hr.
Love him!!
My boys all got a community college degree first👍
Last Man Standing
The only thing I disagree with Mike about (just a nit, really, Mike is a wise person and I am on board with him on nearly everything) is that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the right to assemble. If that is interpreted, as it was by the Canadian cabinet and Trudeau as only the right to assemble in the middle of nowhere, where it doesn't cause "inconvenience", it becomes a joke and a meaningless right.
I tell a lot of young people that the trades are a great way to make a living. The schooling is relevant, the pay is great, and the work gives you a sense of accomplishment that paper pushing just doesn't offer.
There's nothing wrong with just getting a job at a gas station or store or factory or zoo or wherever you can get a paying job without an education. Nobody should be ashamed of there job or be told they are just whatever their job title is. I know so many people who have gone to college on their parents money and they would have been better off to buy them a house
how do you become a server at the age of 38 when they tell you you have no experience you can't hire
If you can get in a trade.
Guaranteed if you took a lower paying job at that restaurant with less responsibility, proved your reliability and work ethic, within a few months you could be in the role you want.
I want to be a trucker now! Beep beep!
I musta missed it-- what were the 3 steps?
1 Find a job that's in demand
2 Learn to be great at that job
3 Learn to love that job
Anyway, that's the way I heard it. 😉
@@mrscathiwarren Heh. I see what you did there. If you know, you know. 😉
Okay! I have to know… why does Allie cross her arms in TH-cam video interviews!? It looks so rude!
not your biggest fan but I did remove my subscription from the bee; Thought they where Christian
