I watched this twice. first time I loled at testicles on his chin. The second time I loled when he said "THIS IS NUTS" This is one of the Greatest TED Talks evar!

I want to create jobs around portable power generation. Thank you for this invigorating talk

Such an intelligent man. His words and ideas flow so beautifully. If he ran for president I know who I'd vote for. Also, if he wanted to marry me, I'd be down as fuck.

he's so down-to-earth!

Dirty Jobs should go to Afghanistan.

Wow! Vey well said. And he's right, The more we make things easier, the lazier we are ultimately. Without the jobs he mentioned everything else falls to the wayside.

WOW! GENIUS! TOO ALL MY MARAJUANA SMOKERS, THAT WERE STONED WHILE WATCHING THIS.. DID HE JUST COME OUT OF THE CLOSET? LOLOL I KNEW I!

now i'm curious. gotta look up this video. lol xD

wow, that was much much better than i would have imagined

MIKE ROWE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@dinogrower - It seems you completely missed his point about looking for opportunities to make the best use of your labor (i.e. time). The pig farmer and the guy who collects manure to make biodegradable pots are both examples of how someone can start with an idea (not a passion), take risks, and work his @ss off, until they make it a success.

This is one of the best TED talks - ever. The best parts are AFTER the sheep story.

@Hurion "who am I gonna believe" Have you ever tried it? If not, then how do you know? I'm not trying to insult you or anything, simply asking a question. It's not the job itself that makes a man/woman happy. It's the sense of fulfillment (work), and the ability to provide for his family that keeps a man moving. Especially if it's a job that not everyone can do (logger). It's takes a special breed for certain jobs. Either you have it, or you don't. If you DO, you're a happy guy doing it.

I want to work more! >_<

Craig, Co! I live near there haha....

@Hurion the conclusion you can make from these two contradicting ideas is that you should be anything you want as long as you're your satisfied with your job.

@dinogrower Well, aren't YOU the totally super cool elitist.

@Hurion Dude ....i fix airplanes ...well i work in a shop on a base that fixes airplane parts mon to fri 730am to 330pm, i make 64K a year and i get a pension i rarly get dirty twice a week i get to leave at 10:30am for physical training and have to be back by 12:30pm. i leave early on fridays and you know what ..my job sucks! Im looking to do something else ASAP. I havent been doing my job for anywhere near 30 years and im already bored...its gonna happen to everyone. i bet your job sucks too

@dinogrower While you're right about the wealth distribution, I think Mike's point (which he makes in this video) is that there are benefits to doing manual labour. It takes a different mentality to do these "low class jobs" than it does to sit in an office sitting in an office produces no physical product. It is important to the economy to have a segment of the workforce making physical things, so the entire economy is not based in hypothetical products.

PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS

My father was a logger for 30 years, and the one thing he told me about his job over and over was "Don't be a logger! Go to school and do what you really want!" so who am I going to believe? Someone who was ACTUALLY a manual laborer, whose family has been manual laborers for generations? Or some fucking actor?

Everyone seems so taken by this guys charisma, looks, and clear spoken voice. However, few see the show as an effort to make lower class jobs look fun, cool, and funny. Search youtube for the video Who Owns Americas wealth. The top one percent of society own more wealth and wages than the bottom 90 percent. There is no glamor in a low wage job. Disgusting social engineering experiment that does not work on me. And the poster boy for Ford? Domestic car companies will never be cool either.

@unusualcatperson lol, touche

I was surprised by this speech. I love Discovery Channel, Dirty Jobs, and Mike Rowe is one cool guy. I didn't realize Mike was so insightful. Fantastic.

@philnoll 18 people say otherwise
