Mike Rowe Talks Dirty Jobs

by Keith Sewell on November 1, 2011

The television doesn’t get much attention around the Sewell house; that is if we can keep the remote hidden from my oldest daughter. But when we do sit down to watch television one of the shows we will always stop and watch is Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe on the Discovery Channel. The following video is of a 2009 TEDTalks where Mike shares compelling real-life job stories. Listen for his insights and observations about the nature of hard work, and how its been unjustifiably degraded in society today.
