Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame said he recently traveled to a data center in Plano, Texas, where he met three electricians under the age of 30 who are making more than $250,000 each.“And the crazy thing is, all of them had been ‘poached’ three times in the last 18 months. So, the need is huge,” he said.Trade jobs can offer workers a reasonably comfortable living without the burden of student loans, advocates like Rowe argue. He says public perceptions about the work have long been negative, while higher education enjoyed a better reputation.“We made that push at the expense of all these other jobs,” he said. “We basically said to a whole generation of kids, ‘Borrow whatever it takes to go this way because if you don’t, you’re going to be stuck turning a wrench.’”https://www.newsnationnow.com/business/trade-workers-national-security-issue-mike-rowe/https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/17/us-chipmakers-face-deep-labor-shortage-samsung-micron-sound-alarm.html

>>543283467Motivator
>>543283392Well, valuing hard work is a 2 way street. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. Simple as.

What am I working for? The social contract has been annulled. In the past men would slave away at shit jobs for 40 hours a week because they knew it could buy them a house and support a wife and kids in a community that represents them.Now you can't get any of those things. You can only get a house if you are one of the few guys with a great job. Average jobs dont cut it anymore. You can probably find some used up roasty, but she won't be loyal and will divorce you as soon as she gets bored. And she will be a pain in the ass when she is there. And your community now looks like a foreign country. So you escape into the online world or some hobby. But you will miss that irl connections,Men are willing to work hard if there is a payoff, but they won't do it to be like some hamster on a wheel going nowhere and getting nothing.

>>543283467college educated liberal elite trying to push more men into slavery. >I KNOW 3 ELECTRICIANS UNDER 30 MAKING A QUARTER OF A MILLIONmeanwhile the average electrician's salary in Texas is $55,000-$57,000/year, and that average includes near retirement peak career union guys. I also know people who are apprentices stuck making $40,000 a year at that age. I know ONE 30-something electrician making that much and he does work on high tension lines and puts in retarded amounts of overtime, which is a dangerous combination.
>>543283392Hard work = Taken advantage of, being jewed
>>543283938he's not even an uncle tom, he has zero working class background. He's a college educated theater kid, his parents were both middle class teachers. He never worked a manual labor job for a single day in his life. Pure larper who plays a tough guy on TV.
>>543283392WOW THIS THREAD AGAIN JEWS EAT KIDS
>>543283392People only worked hard because they had something to work for. Men don't bust their as use up their limited time on this planet to in order to pay taxes and make their bosses more wealthy.
>>543283950This video is just 100% confirmation that most people aren't real, they are just holograms, because there is no way more than 15 total people would be willing to live in a place like this where everything looks identical.
>>543283392>applied for a job>got a callback>tried to return call "google says this number isn't in service right now">bitch keeps texting me "someone will reach out">it's been 3 fucking weeksStop hiring women who can't actually do the job
>>543283392Mistakenly arrogant faggots like Mike Rowe & Chris Hansen should be dropped off in the middle of the Sahara desert with nothing and forgotten about. Then we'll see how long they'll maintain that ridiculous half-smirk of self-certainty.
>>543284722Chris Hansen is fine, in fact anyone going after him is possibly a pedokike since the recent anti Hansenism propaganda has been pushed by Jews lately.
>>543284193This. It's a whole lot easier to LARP and make an episode of a single day in a "dirty job" but ask anyone who has spent years of his life on the jobsite. Mike Rowe can suck my dick.
>>543283392hard work and low pay makes jack a NEET boy
>goy work in trades and you'll be making 250,000 a year!!LOL no. the boss and union leader might be making that, not taking into account expenses. Enjoy your 70k a year working 60 hours a week doing joint breaking, mindnumbing work, shift work, getting called in on your dayoff, and working with and for 80 IQ alcoholics with poor emotional coping skills
>>543283392Isn't this FAGGOT a SAG union member who never worked a blue color job in his life and gets money from the koch bros to tell actual workers not to unionize or complain about safety and working conditions?
>>543285301Idc one way or another about kikes, except in that they're absolutely based when they BTFO brown mudslimes like (you). Also, the best pedo hunter, Alex Rosen happens to be a kike, and his work absolutely embarrasses that scripted pretty boy interviewer faggot Hansen's "work"
>>543283467He made most of his money from Ford advertising money.
>>543283950How insane are the costs of living in the US if 250k per year doesn’t buy anything?How does an electrician even make that much?
>>543283392Days when companies valued their hardworking employees are gone.

Valuing hard work is over though. Rowe might be a tool but he is right about this. Everyone has given up and does just enough to go along to get along and is as lazy as they can be. 10% of the work force are cucks that do extra for no benefit
>>543287839It's about having pride
>>543286487Anybody bitching about making that much and it not being enough is full of shit, or lives in one of like 3 or 4 specific cities in the country
