Mike Rowe is the host of Discovery Channel’s “Dirty Jobs”. In this video, Rowe tells some compelling (and horrifying) real-life job stories. He shares his insights and observations about the nature of hard work, and how its been unjustifiably degraded in society today.

This is why we need Freedom of Speech.
Without it, we cannot have people like Mike Row saying what he did.

Interesting Video. In Singapore, our infrastructure does not rate a D-, fortunately, in fact I think it’s an A yet we suffer from the same problem which Mike describes. No one wants to join the trades. And if you follow Mike’s train of thought, no one wants to do any real hard work anymore. In Singapore, for now, that void is filled by foreigners but is that a good thing in the end?

I’ve always wondered: (For now I’m a beneficiary of it so I cant exactly complain.. ) If we iterate out this process, almost all of us will be sitting in an office clicking a mouse, firing off emails to workers in distant lands. . How productive is that?
