Oil Industry jobs are dangerous ... and the companies usually do a good job of Safety Equipment and Procedures ...

I had cause to return to this video today. Its Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe discussing work in America. He speaks about the realization that sometimes PETA causes more suffering than they prevent and that sometimes OSHA and their safety need to come last. He talks about they way we treat blue collar workers like lepers and how bad our infrastructure is. Its really a very interesting speech.

Mike Rowe on Discovery, Realization and Lamb Castration

I truely enjoyed Rowe’s take on the realities of the working man ! I agree with his assessment too much of what “information/data our youth is fed is bogus ! I see its consequences every day !

Just yesterday I listened to a conversation between a “supervisor” and an inmate. The “supervisor” was spouting a lot of worthless platitudes and the IM was - apparently - sucking them up ! I interupted to give the IM - in two brief sentences - some real workplace/job search direction that could/would lead to earning potential and community status. And then stood back and watched the IIC (idiot in charge) - who never had a real job, BTW - dig his ass out of reality ! >PS
