VIDEO – Mike Rowe: Work Smarter and Harder – Part 1
God bless Mike Rowe. I can’t wait to share this with my kids.
I disagree with him on what is the “worst advice in the history of the world”.
I’d offer, instead, the idea that we should stop eating foods that we’d been eating for all of human history, and instead eat processed industrial foods that have never existed on the planet until they were constructed in the lab, because the latter are “heart healthy”. (E.g., refined sugar, refined flour, industrial seed oils, hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup.)
Mike Rowe for Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Education.
Give him two years to organize programs like this, one year to transfer them ALL to the states and one year to shut down those Federal Departments.

My youngest boy is in a program like this. His employer runs it. Last summer my son was working as a plumber’s assistant at a house near Martinez Lake north of Yuma Az. During this job my son did much of the work on his own because the plumber he was partnered with was out sick.
The homeowner was a guy who owns one of the biggest electrical contracting companies in the state. He watched my son bust his butt in the 115 deg heat. When the job was over he asked my son how much he was making an hour. My son told him, and he then asked if my boy would like to make double that and have have his electrician’s certification training paid for. The only catch was my boy would have to move to Phoenix on his own dime.
My son asked me what he should do and I told him he was crazy if he didn’t jump on this opportunity. My son has been in Phoenix now for the last year working for this company and going to school. He loves it. He started out at $18.00 an hour and is now making $20.00 an hour. There are many opportunities like this out there if you are willing to work hard.
Room and board at that same big ten school today is $18,000 per year. Show me a summer job today that pays $18,000.
There you are. People, even some Freepers, have failed on this one.
