Shop class was the best determination of the future for a 15 year old.
Too bad tax evaders gave trade jobs to china to save money
Does shop class still exist? Home Ec?
Disagree. I hated shop, the teacher, every bit of it.And here I am a master carpenter with 30 years under my belt
@@danwatrus9146 I was the same way with math. Teachers sucked, hated it, couldn't do it fast enough, but went to college for accounting.

I was raised on a family farm. I learned everything from livestock, gardening mechanical skills,plumbing, electrical,construction, .welding. I would say everything needed to support myself. In my late 20s I got into construction and eventually started my own business. Building homes and steel and post frame buildings including concrete. I have retired from that. But I was told I would never amount to anything by teachers in high school . But I think I did very well for my family.
What kind of crappy message is that to give you?....but I guess it could have been worse...could have ended up a high school teacher.
You probably did A LOT better than those stupid teachers!
Years ago when I was growing up farmers NEVER hired a company to fix everything.. farmers fix everything... so farmers are jack of all trades but master of none

Those same teachers are still paying off their student loans. LOL
Well, get the government OUT of the schools, put back programs that teach kids how to deal with the real world😵💫👍🙄
I got through high school because of shop classes. Then made a good living as a machinist and retired comfortably.
There will be no more retirement thanks to tax breaks

Well, I'm happily an ignorant cabinetmaker / carpenter, house and truck paid off years ago, and if I weren't too old now, I could be working 30 days a week! because they've turned everybody into arrogant office flunkies who can't or won't find work, and folks need me, and the mechanic, plumber, roofer, etc etc!!!
@@poutine57 Key word in the statement you replied to was "MORE" . Nobody said there werent Any .. DJT wanted More. And hes Right. Here in my country there are only a few places like that now .

By the time my Son was in school it was ALL gone . Youre lucky to even have a Wood shop now .

your plumber pays for the truck to get there, the tools, an assistant if s/he has one, insurance and a host of other expenses. It all adds up before your plumber makes a dime.
@@garymartin9777 which is why if young people want to make a good living they should look into the trades I mentioned. I guarantee they will make a better living than most college graduates. I’m pretty sure that the man that fixed my car the other day is making more than my son who is a college graduate. Getting that degree these days does not guarantee a high paying job anymore.
@@garymartin9777 fact..
I was in hospital and nursing home for 6 months and know both areas are extremely shorthanded.
I worked in an engineering office for 30 years, I had been saying for a long time 20-30% of the employees there were unnecessary and half the rest were over qualified for the work they were doing. This country has become very white collar job heavy, very unnecessarily so.
Even worse in a government organization. At the start of the pandemic, we were only 30% with the proper equipment to work from home and the rest was just absent. At that time, I've never seen so much job actually getting done then the middle management and project managers started coming back and filling our days with useless meetings.
Most manufacturing jobs were outsourced. I would like to see if Mike is pro union and single payer health care. Health care is one of the main control mechanisms employers have in America.
Please send those extra Electrical Engineers over to us. We cannot seem to find qualified candidates. All of the resumes lately have been duds.
The Engineering community estimates that in 20 years, they'll be UNDERSTAFFED by well-over 1,000,000 engineers....so that doesn't compute with your post.
@@kkincaidtx Suppose health care availability is made political?
Not unlikely in America.
I’m a retired (37 yrs) HR manager in a manufacturing environment. I’m a big fan of Mike Rowe. He is absolutely right. We would have to go through 100’s of applicants to find one who could read at a 10th grade level, knew how to use a measuring tape, could tell the difference between a nut and bolt etc etc. And don’t get me started about showing up for work on time or even calling in to let someone know you were sick or whatever excuse you had for not showing up. Plus, it was not unusual to find a candidate who met the minimum standards and then have them flunk the drug test! I’m so glad to be out.
In 100% of cases when you are not getting good resumes is you are paying too low.
@@firstlast9292 mmmm no not really, these kids just see CZcamsrs making absurd amounts… and they assume they deserve more money… to do essentially nothing, my job is the same, 28/hr and we had to drop our standards just to get people in the door.. and they fire themselves within a few weeks. I’ve been here 6 years I live over and hr away I’ve never had problems coming in.. and doing my job…
@@firstlast9292 Sorry that just isn’t the case. I’m talking about a Union environment with very good wages, full health care and retirement benefits. We had 100’s of applications but a large percentage couldn’t meet the basic requirements as I said in my comment. Plenty of people wanted in but lacked the basic skills to qualify. Flunking drug tests was another big problem.

@@firstlast9292 you are absolutely correct. Many places are not paying enough.
Real blue collar work can’t be taken by robots or AI it’s just not possible!
Someday it will, but not for a while. Don't forget a lot of blue-collar work has already been replaced by robots. Robots are much faster at sorting and selecting on a conveyer belt. It just depends on if the initial cost is worth it. To completely replace humans you need batteries that can last all day, and a body that can fully replicate human movement. The AI and Vision will come along faster than the other two. Robots will be able to replace forklift drivers very soon. Electricians, plumbers and a host of construction jobs will be secure for a while. Also unfortunately, also lawyers.
Any job that can be replaced will be eventually - that's just how automation works. It's been happening since the Industrial Revolution. Factories replaced cottage jobs. Computers in the 60s replaced legions of accountants. Self-checkout lines are replacing human checkout folks. I'm sure eventually AI/robots will replace many in transportation gigs (self-driving) in about 20-30 years.
@@lloydlego6088 I can't wait to see robot lawyers sue other robot lawyers.
My guess is that the biggest hurdle robotics will have is government.
my grandson was told in school that when he graduated there would be no manual labor jobs it would all be done with robots and I told him the school was wrong, they cant have robots to do a lot of jobs, he told me I was wrong, He now works a manual labor job and had to admit I was right

Mike Rowe is a millionaire who made his millions pretending he was regular guy by exploiting people who made a fraction of what he makes by doing their job for a day to make a TV show. And now he's literally getting paid by billionaires to shill and tell those same people he used to exploit to keep working for low wages so those billionaires can keep money going up to them and not the workers who's labor made them rich. Seriously, do 90 second Google search of Mike Rowe, read what he's up to now, and try to prove me wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get a single response from you.

Cashier is one of the most in demand jobs. Shame it doesn’t pay anything close to a livable wage
Very true.Not even close,but it’s one of the jobs that requires social interactions to the max.
1. I agree.
2. But it’s a textbook example of “supply & demand”.
3. The greater the supply to fit the demand…
4. The lower the unit cost of the supply.
It's generally not meant to be. It is basically considered a stepping stone and a way to get accustomed to dealing with the public.
It's a mindles job. The register does everything for you. Not like in the good old days when the price was manually put into the register. And you counted the correct change back to the customer. Or manually doing a credit card or charge account.
Unfortunately, there are businesses closing left and right in the major cities due to legalized crime on the west coast.
Mike Rowe speaks with micrometer precision, never wasting a word while dropping his verbal payload directly on target!
Such a great comment!
Unlike the host who is garbling her words like Joe Biden.
Two types of people. Those who say micrometer, and those who say micrometer. The ones that know, know.
And most of society doesn't know what a "micrometer" is because they didn't have an option for shop class...
Shop class in Jr High was one of my favorites. I looked forward to every class that taught me some carpentry and ironwork. My Grandfather was a carpenter as a hobby, so this class was almost generational for me. While I didn’t pursue the trades, I never forgot the lessons in that class. The fact they took those classes out is a tragedy. Mike Rowe is spot on for vocational education in our schools.
when I went to school we had shop class and I learned more and had more fun building that Candle holder than any other class. I even use those skills today. Metal class, small Engine, printing and others.
History tells us that... Every Great Nation’s Days Are Numbered. Sir John Bagot Glubb wrote this in the 1950’s. He was an Army General and historian. He studied eleven empires starting with the Assyrians in 859 B.C. and ending with the British in 1950. Sir John determined that each empire followed a remarkably similar pattern from birth to demise. Spanning a period of about 250 years, each went through the following 7 stages before their collapse:
1..The Age of Pioneers. 2. The Age of Conquests. 3. The Age of Commerce. 4. The Age of Affluence. 5. The Age of Intellect. 6. The Age of Decadence. 7. The Age of Decline & Collapse.
He also added these traits to the decline. Defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, frivolity, an influx of foreigners, the Welfare State, and a weakening of religion. To what did he attribute this decadence? Too long a period of wealth and power, selfishness, love of money, and the loss of a sense of duty. Again, please remember, this was written in the 1950’s.

I actually quit a consulting job at Booz Allen Hamilton because they were pushing hard to force telecommuting. This was 6 years ago. On my exit interview I told them coming into work feels like a ghost town now when it once felt like a college campus for adults. Total void of collaboration, networking and energy. I was constantly able to pivot to new projects because I was always interacting with my peers. This cannot be replaced or replicated by working from home.
Yes - I guess you good looking posers will miss chatting up women at the office. Nobody can see your nice clothes, your new shoes and you can't waste company time walking from one coffe machine to the other to tell your interesting story again about what you did last week to the people at the other machines. Imagine sitting alone at home by your computer having to do your actual work all day long. Yaccc - that is the life for ugly people - right?
STRONGLY depends on your profession. As an Engineer, we used to go to an office and collaborate & hold meetings there, using Online meeting tools like MS Teams ... because that was the most productive way to work since we use computer design tools & systems .. and of course does NOT require a corporate office, which is a huge waste of money.

What I did for a living had no "degree" associated with it. However, as I went through layoffs and tried to find work, I was told I had to have a degree to do what I had been doing for over 25 years.

In the 1950's-1960's we had vocational schools learning carpentry, how to repair cars, upholstery making, clerical & secretarial classes, & food hospitality training, some plumbing. In Germany, at the same time, students took exams in junior high which determined wheter they'd go on to universities or be syphoned off to vocational technical training schools. Not everybody is suited for college as there's no shame in that. You're right, as to why the highschools dropped vocational training was the worst decision made really not thinking of their students futures. Many high schools stupidity also dropped the R.O.T.C. from their rosters.
Amen. I started teaching in 2000. I encouraged kids to go to college until around 2020. At that point, I stepped back and took a hard look at what “going to college” meant, for many families.
Since then, I’ve strongly encouraged kids to go to trade school, college, or into the military - depending on their goals. ❤

The 'social engineers' know the intended consequences.
I graduated high school 50 years ago today. At that time, trade jobs were low paying and over crowded with all the GI's who had come back from WW2. A four year degree was a guaranteed way to get better work and opportunities until the late 80's, then it all went sideways as my parents generation retired. Suddenly the demand for trades skyrocketed and college was suddenly seen as irrelevant due to too many graduates.

And now he's literally getting paid by billionaires to shill and tell those same people he used to exploit to keep working for low wages so those billionaires can keep money going up to them and not the workers who's labor made them rich. Seriously, do 90 second Google search of Mike Rowe, read what he's up to now, and try to prove me wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get a single response from any of you. Especially, Nello the flaccid playwright.
My wife is part of that lap top class, but a hardworking one. She is a civil engineer by education and a construction project manager by trade. The projects are large, often in the millions of dollars. She almost never goes into the office, she works from home. Her day is filled with email correspondence and telephone calls with field superintendents, clients representatives, design engineers, material suppliers, and subcontractors. She has video meeting after video meeting. She gives technical presentations to company engineers. She is also the division health and safety coordinator (heavy construction is inherently dangerous) and the division quality control manager. She has to visit her projects two or three times a month, and the jobs can be anywhere in the country. She loves her job, but it ain't in La La Land.
I agree work where you need to. This push to come in is based on cities complaining about taxes that's the only reason
My entire department is decentralized so there is zero reason to go into an office. It’s been 100% effective to work from home.
I have been teleworking for over 3 years. We streamlined our meetings and processes. I am more efficient working at home. Too much socializing and useless conversation that goes nowhere. I go into the office and do what needs done. The rest of the week is from home.
Saying AOC has half a brain is giving her twice the amount of credit she deserves.

Aren't you a loyal Fox Bot?! 😂😂😂
Well.. I think you are just mad AOC doesn't have a clue who tf you are.. You know about her though yeah? Feel the burn.
@@AndrewDeLong You are.
@@polardiscoball Yeah. You most certainly are that poor Triggered Snowflake since you responded.
Technical schools should be free for everyone. Its a huge investment that pays off by having a skilled population. Engineers, welders, electricians ect are necessary for our future.
Not a fan of "free" (because nothing is) but affordable schools would be nice. If it's free, some won't apply themselves because they have "no skin in the game".That's the problem with student loans today.
@@MrTommy001 If only there was some way to collectively pool our financial resources as a country and invest in things like this that benefit everyone. Maybe call it "tacks" or something because "we attacks this problem together!"

@@bikerbobcat Maybe we could call it THEFT because it is not voluntary.
I Was a production manager for 15 years for a large Worldwide corporation. What I discovered during that time is the vast majority of our corporate managers could never be reached. Calls, voicemails, emails, it was like they were ghost. Many Americans are under the false impression that once they obtain a corporate status level career that they have earned the right to do nothing. I decided to ditch the job for a 40 hour week punching the time clock. The $10,000.00 loss in annual wages was well worth it! The facility I work at now is in a large city and the wages are fair but our turnover rate is ridiculous! No one wants to work anymore.

I have said this since the mid 90's when I was the GM of a manufacturing operation. There needed to be an incentive for young people to enter the workforce with skills needed for various jobs. The trades are ill prepared for the future. We instituted a training program for applicants to learn mechanical skills. Not one knew what a micrometer or a caliper was or how to read it. After six weeks of shadowing a skilled mechanic we tested out the applicants. We normally were able to permanently hire 1 out of 4. We even had entry engineers go through that program. Some of those people were less than adequate. And it still isn't being done.
Sounds familiar.
Mike is an amazing guy who has been around and seen more than most people.
You're right as usual, Mike. 💯
The cost of maintaining an office and travel for each employee should be considered. For the young, the cost of child care and care of elderly relatives can be an issue. Also, while working at a central office, face to face communication has become rare.
I agree with Mike. I am frequently recommended trade school to young people
Mike is the Man. 😊
Are you sure? Bruce Jenner? HUM
Nothing is better than level headed logical thinking....from a person who gets their hands dirty.
The government is why people are working from home
Mike Rowe is awesome!!
Yes people who work on cars is getting to be a thing of the past
I have been complaining to my boss about exactly this. I have been forced to work from home for the last year and I hate it. No socialization, no separation of work and home, and for me an increase in depression. I want to work from the office.
My experience has been the opposite. I love working from home. I have less stress than going into the office. It depends on the job I guess.
My experience is the total opposite. I don't crave social interaction. I get more accomplished at home more efficiently. Have no problem separating home and work. I am healthier, less stressed. We streamlined our meetings and processes. Everything has been a positive working from home.
@@Ghost_2366 i agree with you. Less stressed working from home. No commuting, have more time to get house stuff done and more time with the family in the evening.
Love Mike Rowe! Good show guys!
As a business owner who has worked from home since 2014, Musk has lost his mind if he thinks the location you're earning an income has anything to do with morality.
Yup. I also love the fact that his cars are supposedly about reducing car pollution, but now he wants all Americans to start driving their cars back to work.
@@frankpace5510 A fair observation.
plus, it puts all the opportunities in cities. If you get good employees who know how to work remotely, they are better than water-cooler long-lunch office employees. And I will always be glad to work longer instead of driving in a car commuting.
I can’t begin to count the number of over qualified people I worked with who went to college and couldn’t find a job in there desired professions and couldn’t pay loans back with what they made at the job they had to take. Meanwhile I lived within my means and have no debt. I may not be rich but I’m comfortable and not petrified I will lose everything.
People flipping burgers get more pay than Homehealth Care workers.
Until Flippy the robot gets deployed. I am serious, it's coming.
I’ve got a lot of respect for Mike Rowe. He’s down to earth and we need more people like him. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@BeverlyTalley That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@izagdlife You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Gary Mason Brooks , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended.
Vocational classes in school has helped more kids then half that graduated. My grandson had a problem with homework but this child at 2 years old could take apart vacuum cleaners and knew all brands in the store. Senior year in high school he had electrical vocational teacher come in and first thing he noticed how much knowledge of electrify this child had in his head. Put him in the skills USA contest he won first prize in local competition with scholarships. Only scholarships at graduation, then took central state competition and was 3rd in state with scholarships. He went to tech school and became electrician and now in electrical maintenance at a university . With out this. He may not have graduated. Other people that gave scholarships came looking for him to give scholarships to him.
He is 26 years now with family, great son.
Yeah and then their trolls say, "Trump loves the ignorant."
Well, I'm happily an ignorant cabinetmaker / carpenter, house and truck paid off years ago, and if I weren't too old now, I could be working 30 days a week! because they've turned everybody into arrogant office flunkies who can't or won't find work, and folks need me, and the mechanic, plumber, roofer, etc etc!!!
Electricians will always have work. Six figure income, but nobody wants to work.
because youre all assholes
Haverhill Massachusetts Whittier vo-tech is an excellent trade school. You can opt to go the last 3 years of high school. I picked up electronics, electrical, auto mechanics. Took welding and machine shop. Due to this it has excelled me in my jobs through out life.
I would also add housekeeping at hospitals. I'm a housekeeper at a major hospital and it's hard to keep people. It's not the most pleasant job but it's a good paying job that's not going anywhere especially since it's hard to keep people. I feel this type of job will be around forever because there's always gonna be sick people unfortunately and you need people to clean up.
Love when mike is asked since u know he’s the original jack of all trades
Can't wait for the current AI version of "Max Headroom" to replace news anchors
It would be great if Mike Rowe could get a spot on Gutfeld!
My employer sent us to work at home when Covid hit, and our productivity increased. So management closed our local office and allowed us to work from home permanently.
What kind of widgets did you produce though?
@@utetrahemicon not every business has to "produce" something. The service field is huge. It's ridiculous to have to go into an office if it's not necessary
Mike is the most even-tempered dude I know
1. Mike Rowe is a powerful, veteran, media personality.
2. He is also a dominant voice of sanity, facts & reason.
3. Even Hemmer let him talk without interrupting.
Mike makes an excellent point. Having worked independently from home for seven years now one of the main drawbacks is social isolation. There are times that I would like to be around other people more often.
The other drawback is that, since you're home, everyone around you thinks you're available at any time, especially when you're trying to get work done. You're often stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Sounds like you need to learn how to meet social needs other than co workers and manage your time better. Mike Rowe is talking out of school on the laptop class. This is news because cities want their tax money back and Fox is carrying their water.
Since when does media personalities tell us what is right. Think for yourself
Yes, especially pets, hahah! It is hard to get work done at home.
👍
I work for a remote-first company. We have "social hour" meetings to let folks get their water cooler time in - typically twice a week. We also try to meet up once a year in person. Pre-remote work, I tended to only have "friends" at work - which has it own problems. To me, it is healthier to build a social network apart from work.
Mike, THANK YOU for being a much-needed voice for reality over the years! Love your work, sir!---Bob Bailey in Maine
I'm old enough to remember taking shop class. Always a fun class. Loved working with my hands. So I did.
My grandfather taught me auto mechanics, masonry, carpentry, upholstery, and a whole list of other skills not because he wanted me to go into those lines of work, but because he was from the generation that had to know how to do all of those things. He was glad I went to college to become a teacher.
😮impeach Biden now it's his fault.
Working from home saves money and time. I love it. It's a pay increase for me in itself. I don't fight morning or afternoon traffic. At lunch I can go ride my bike & make lunch at home.
So small minded to think working from home is bad.
I don’t mind telling you , this scares me . Um if you own a mortgage . How are going to pay on it ? Credit cards , tell me how you’re going to pay that .
I just ran into a problem . My wife ran my credit card bill up , and only paid the minimum , but that did not lesson the balance due . I have to sell my car to pay .
This so unfair !
I met Mike in kc at an expo YEARS ago. He is a genuine dude, his show wasn’t an act, he’s a goofy, hard working blue collar man, reminds me of my pops, who is also a huge fan of his. His political views are based af
Mike Rowe would make a FANTASTIC PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES !!!
Sounds like a "Dirty Job".. except instead of dirt it's blood.
Yea like the last failed reality show host? That went real well! +1m Americans dead!
Much respect to the muscle jobs, blue collar, healthcare. I appreciate those folks. I gotta say though I love working from home. I've worked physical jobs, last was a decade for a nonprofit food bank in direct distribution. It was a feel good job but pay sucked, constant conflict resolution face 2 face, mental illness and it physically worked/destroyed my body, walking on cement every day, lifting hundreds to 1000s of lbs every day. Now, state disability where it was advertised as work from home and nearly 100% love it. If you wanna go into the office you have a choice and a couple workers do out of a couple hundred. Even if you go in you're still staring at cubicle walls, under fluorescent lights. Collaboration is not really a thing at least for us. If I want to ask my manager a question I still have to submit a referral, so no face to face. At home our production is good, I see trees, can take a walk or workout at lunch.If powers that be didn't want work from home options should get rid of the internet. Times have changed. If I could sit in a studio, blabbing about politics, social issues, collecting 6, 7 figure income I'd go in. All said, AI could eventually take my job and in some areas it is already being utilized.
Among those who work from home we are seeing rampant abuse of it. People who are being paid for 40 hours per week of work but who are putting in far less. This was common in California among school teachers who were supposed to be having live chats with their students while schools were closed, they would go days without logging in. One Utah company discovered that a whole department that was working from home had not accessed their company provided laptop or logins for over a month. A whole department did ZERO work for over a month without getting caught. But they got paid. That's why Musk thinks it's amoral, he sees too many examples of abuse. I don't think working from home is, itself, amoral. But abusing it is, so I'm not surprised employers like Musk hate it.
As a tool maker there are 60 year olds and 20 year olds. Nothing in between and the guys who really really knew the craft had retired well before the kids got into the trade. We have a million machinists and machine “operators” but tool makers and mold makers are very hard to get and take a long time to train. Anybody can program a machine nowadays with the software out now but programming and running the machine is only about 5% of making tooling.
My granddaughter is autistic but has her BS degree. She has an online job. She would never be able to go into an office.
Autism is a blessing and a curse.. kind of like ADHD.. invest in your black sheep.. its a new world.
Good for her! That is quite an accomplishment.
