Mike Rowe (of Dirty Jobs) TEDtalk presentation

[RSLudlum]

He discusses the realization that what he thinks he knows is usually wrong, the decline in vocational training, problems with OSHA regs ("maybe safety is third"), the media/tv's stereotyping of manual/skilled laborers, and the American trend of declaring war on work.

Wow, what a smart guy. He talks really well and does an excellent job in conveying his point. I liked it for the most part, end was iffy, but still. Blue collar work really has been absolutely marginalized.

That was quite enjoyable.
