I have found that one of the problems today is a lack of work ethic among youth. In other words they don’t want to work. They don’t know how to work because their parents spoiled them they expect employers to spoil them.
I was a farm boy, we raised tobacco and we learned to work beside our parents. Today kids lay around and play games and Computers. Most kids don’t even cut the grass outside their homes.
They come in late for work and then they don’t work hard when they get there.
The same goes for Volunteer jobs. Kids today don’t volunteer .
That mentality has completely killed the work ethic.
BTW, Mike Rowe hosts another show called "How Booze Built America." It's very interesting.
If the republicans were smart they would get this guy to run for office. Everything he is saying about education is 100% correct. However, the republicans aren’t that smart. So, they will keep nominating mushy, corrupt, or inept people like to Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and Paul Ryan.
mike Rowe makes a lot of sense. I really love that guy!
The guy who draws Dilbert also says not to follow your passion. I now follow Jesus. When I was younger I just followed my nose.
Read “The Millionaire Next Door.” The vast majority of millionaires have little or no college. They own their own small business and they are conservative. They have a 10 year old car and very few of them bought it new. They live in modest homes but generally own them. If they see a penny on the sidewalk, they pick it up, not because it’s valuable but because doing so represents and attitude. (I generally pick up anywhere from one cent to 35 cents on my walk into the gym and around the gym. The kids drop it and don’t even stop to pick it up.)
“Work smart, not hard” has always been my ethic, and I tell my employees to go home early. If they can’t do that, it means I have a time management problem on my hands, and another issue to resolve. I also always evaluate myself the same way, so I know when mucking things up for those around me.
Mike brings a great message. But to some, life’s success is about more than having a job and making money. I went and graduated from college to better understand many things, not to just have a well-paying job. Those who learned a single trade for which the market place has changed and who are now out of a job at 50 years of age, with no future prospects are paying for it. I am approaching 65, and due to my college education and foresight in choosing not to specialize in my field of training, I have not suffered a single day of unemployment since graduation.
I am not rich, but I am comfortable and have been able to provide for my family and for my retirement. If I had not graduated from college, that would not have been my story.
It is true that college is not for everyone. There is no shame in not going to college, and tradesmen should never be treated as second class citizens. In the same vein, college graduates should not be sneered at because they sacrificed their early years to hold out for something better, either.
Yeah he is same guy that confused the Time Bandit crew with Northwestern crew back last season
So Andy Hilstranded took You tube gave whole tree on who who on the boat
He kinda call him a loser LOL!
As a retired Ford worker, IMO it’s not a coincidence the company turned around shortly after they brought Mike on board as their spokesman.
Mike Rowe >>>>> Michael Bolton
I like Mike Rowe. He gets it.
As a college drop out with a succesful manufacturing shop employing several people, I find the best coffee in the world is a coffee served to me buy someone with a masters degree in sociology.
Rowe spoke to jobs and education on FBN’s Independents program this evening. Excellent points.
