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

>>544954650I'm right here shit bird, get a job
>>544954554yeah id love to sit in a server room all day absorbing all types of heavy metals and electronic pulses all day long. imagine filling your room with 200 PCs and let me know how it feels
>>544954981That's why you get paid extra
>>544954554>must have phd and 10 yoe willing to work for 50k>oh no we cant find anyone gotta hire 1 billion jeets
>>544954554Mike needs to keep his fucking mouth shut. If his ideas are so good, he needs to put them to the test by running for public office. Then he can show us how its done when he wins.But... like all public figures (celebrities) he has a problem, and it is this: he gets paid more to "thought lead" than he ever would as a public servant. So why would he ever?Seriously, celebrities need to shut the fuck up and stop trying to tell the little people how to conduct their lives. For every electrician working in a data center making $250,000 a year there are a dozen that shouldn't be allowed to splice romex and aluminum, bury junction boxes in the wall, hide connections under fiberglass batt, make connections to knob-and-tube or armored conduit, install a 15 W line for a 1000W air conditioner, etc. All of which I've seen in the houses that I've owned. In what way is the quality of that "work" worth $250,000 a year?If Mike really wanted to do something to help people, he'd spend more time making sure every electrician is educated and trained, and less time encouraging people who are otherwise unqualified by education, training, or experience to do the work to, you know, actually do the work.
>>544954554
>Mike Rowe>Guy who made a million dollars per episode for a single day of work pretending to be a blue collard worker.Yeah, I wanna see the show where he does the same dirty job for $7.25 an hour and has to have roommates and food stamps. THAT would be entertainment
>>544954554>Mike Rowe>Row>doesn't even canoe>doesn't even kayak>doesn't stand up paddleboardFraud desu
>>544954554Mike Rowe is a retard who can't be into statistics, according to it even in the US the average income of an electrician or plumber is like 65k a year.Since it's low IQ work mostly (which it is, it's basically just memorizing basic things and then just do the same over and over for years), everyone would do it if it would pay that well.
>>544954554join a club they said3pdirectory is down look at wayback archives etc
Is all news now just faggot boomers screaming at young people who are voluntarily opting out of society? They sucked the life and humanity out of almost everything to enrich themselves and thier kike bosses. We don't give a shit if this entire system collapses which will inevitably happen with the onslaught of 3rd worlders they insist on importing
>>544954554>making more than $250,000 eachI take it that figure means before taxes..and before paying the employeesand before paying insuranceand before paying licensing feesand before paying for gasand before paying for...and before paying f...and before payi...and before p..and befor..and..ack
>>544954554It's interesting that all my life I've been in a blue collar family, married into another blue collar family. Construction, brick laying, electrician, plumber. I've still yet to meet the mythical millionaire tradesmen I hear about so often.
>>544954726Based
>>544955669They statistically are more rare than a millionaire with a gender studies degree, it's hard work don't get me wrong, but you can become a really good electrician with an IQ of 90 and basic motoric functions, you can't pass (and I mean just pass, not ace) a math exam in university with an IQ below 112.Even in the age of AI a college graduate is less likely to be unemployed and makes more money than a blue collar worker, remember the rich always tell YOU to not go to college, never their own children.
>>544954554Will to work won't matter in less than 2 years good luck out there faggots
>>544955950elaborate
>>544955876The rich are retarded and surrounding themselves with retarded cavemen to keep their equally retarded Ponzi schemes going. If you're stupid enough to do that, you are in fact more retarded than a decent electrician. An electrician can understand functional systems, how to build and maintain them, and what can threaten/destroy them.
I have no words for how much I hate that faggot Mike.
>>544955974>an electrician can understand stuff you hear in the first week of lecture in any engineering study field and is the lowest rated amount of points in the examWow. Anyway no, although being smart and being wealthy isn't a 1:1 indicator, since there are plenty of stupid rich people, you are more likely to be wealthy if you are smart and people with generational wealth tend to be above average in intelligence (minus outliars like Prince Harry).
>>544954554slop rowe spamnot my problem
Stop falling for the stupid wagie threads.
>>544954554Why the fuck do people care what some theater kid has to say about labor?
>>544956070>>544955876nice try, moishe
>>544956070Chinese and Indian engineers work for 1/3rd the price. So while you have no jobs, the electrician is wiring infrastructure, some of it lasting decades or more.
>>544956130>on average a college graduate makes more than any tradesman>DURR YOU ARE A JEWSo wanting people to get on the pipeline that makes them most likely wealthier in the long run and doesn't break their bodies is Jewish? I always thought of them to be demonic entities for killing our lord, but they seem to be quite decent if that is what they preach.
And none of you can explain how Mike Rowe is wrong here
>>544954554I got my pride back when I stopped slaving for mr sheckleberg and started NEETing
>>544956182And if the engineer wants, he could do the electricians work better than him and learn the craft in like a week tops, since everything an electrician does is only repetition of stuff the engineering student learned in his first week in his first ever semester.
>>544954554reminder that this faggot is a opera singer with a communications degree. he knows fuckall about economics or the trades
AI GOING TO REPLACE YOU- immigrants are just temp-workers while AI trains itself on your company data.- "just lower your expectations" is more distraction while AI gears up.Remember AI doesn't have to be better than you to replace you: just cheaper.
>>544956240> explain how Mike Rowe is wrong here- this is just Japanese corpo-work-spirit self-delusion here.- "we see our workers as a family" empty promises before they shitcan you next year
>>544956343Correct, he expects men to want to work around toady beaners and smelly jeets.
>>544954554they've tried everything except a fair wage
>>544956240is that real?
>>544956661try chopping your white dick off since it's cursed so easily by hapa bussy
>>544954554>we fucking hate you and we replaced you with Ai, niggers, spics, libtards>ok>noooooo, you cant do thatstfu. you fucking retards, we're crashing this shit with no survivors. blood will water the streets, your family, kids we'll be killed by us.
>>544956697holy shit it ishttps://www.mndhs.org/sweat/>>544956700wtf
>>544955667Why would electrictricians hired by a data center have employees or have to pay for thier own insurance?
>>544956697Yes: >>544955697
>>544955969AI is doing too much. Far more than the human masses have any idea. It's going to consume entire economies very soon. The thing is, we as casual human specimens can fight against this. Use AI against AI. This is already being developed and you don't know about that either because that's the point. Mesh networks of local AIs are the resistance. Again... good luck out there
>>544954554>Why don't they want to work for 40 years and never be able to afford a house anyway>Fucking losers. Be a good goyslave!Gen X are just wannabe boomers and should never be taken seriously
>>544954554>Vishesh Raisinghaini… speaking of dirty jobs sheesh
Boomers are mentally retarded and think that because they pay an electrician 150 an hour to do a job that the electrician is taking home 150 an hour 8 hours a day 7 days a week. As if materials, employees, and insurance are free and as if they have jobs constantly lined up that they teleport to one after another.
>>544954726>>544954650>>544954554they blame men but never point out the actual problem
>>544954554put the carrot back or we aren't going back to work, idiot.
>>544955544The only reason we have white collar third world scabs here is because the trades pay better. With a trade job here you can get married, have a couple kids pay off a house, get divorce raped, marry an Asian and pay off a second house waiting for the inevitable all before the age of 30
>>544954554But I worked trades. Long hours, low pay. Why break your back if there is an option to "work" in an office and get paid same or in reality on average more. Mike is conveniently ignoring the elephant in the room which is capitalism that caused it. Capitalism caused service economy push which caused trades to be shit, and "services" to be good. What happened was a natural, maybe even expected, outcome of the system people like Mike propagated so heavily.
>>544957262Mike is a cunt who got infinity bux from jews to convince millennials and zoomers that being paid $10/hr (and get taxed $5/hr) to be elbow deep in human and due at 40 would magically be worth it in the endHe is not an honest person.
>>544956240>And none of you can explain how Mike Rowe is wrong heresighMost of the rules of the SWEAT (slave) pledge fly in the face of what workers rights groups have SHED THEIR OWN BLOOD to accomplish. You literally have Saturday off because a bunch of miners and their families got slaughtered fighting back against the system.The biggest offense is the statements regarding SAFETY.No, it's not just only part of your job. If your employer has failed to maintain safety equipment, that's THEIR fault and they should be held to account for their crimes. (Otherwise you get china-tier industrial disasters)Likewise the parts about working hours. DO NOT VOLUNTEER TO STAY LATE, *OR* ARRIVE EARLY! Work begins at the appointed start of the first hour, and work ends at the appointed end of the last hour of your shift. NOT ONE SECOND MORE *OR* LESS!If you can get fucking paid for it, then GET FUCKING PAID FOR IT!Any employer who tries to get you to work more time for less or no pay is fundamentally performing a format of slavery. Any employee who tries to work less time or for more money than they should be compensated with by their effort, is committing a degree of fraud or theft or both.Mike Rowe is a fucking bobble-mouth talking head television retard that urges the slaves to stay slaves, and to have less respect for themselves as humans than they should.He can go kiss his ass goodbye with a noose on a lamp post.
>>544954554>be 1990s>go to school for 20 years>go get a degree>otherwise you will have to dig ditches and turn wrenches, you piece of shit>be 30 years later>we are only hiring jeets>fuck your degree>go dig ditches and turn wrenches, you piece of shitWhy are the Boomers like this?
>>544957785>actually arguing in a botdriven mike (the cunt) rowe thread. holy shit, just ignore these retarded threads made buy goverment spooks and their jewish handler trannies
>>544954554>boomers solution is to "just work NORE"kekk.stupid golems. we've collectively undid that jewish conditioning
>>544957861so they can afford the slots and CASHNADO buy in of course
>>544954554>he met three electricians under the age of 30 who are making more than $250,000 eachThe one percent of tradies, cherry picked. Most make a fraction of that pulling wire in 120 degree mouse shit covered attics unless they are the owner.
>>544957905>>actually arguing in a botdriven mike (the cunt) rowe thread.> it's not my first day so that means no one else could possibly be here on their first day either!there are idiots who blindly agree to dumb shit and the sweat pledge is right there in front of their eyes. please start throwing out a hand sign (no not that one you retard) at least to point them in the right direction of facing reality and its many illusionists
>>544954554After the economy collapses, Before that it is a waste of time, in fact your best option is to vote for whoever accelerates it. If they sustain this longer you will never live long enough for your job to matter, all they do is bail out banks and pump digital currencies and as long as they can fill you in debt there is no reason to improve quality of life
>>544954554you and kike rowenstein get these
Are the three electricians under the age of 30 who are making more than $250,000 each in the room with you right now?
>>544956620and he wants them to do it for $8 an hour
>>544954554Who cares what a home shopping network shill who has never actually worked a day in his life has to say about anything?
>>544955974I am an electrician and none of this is true.Multimeter, comprehend 120V/220V, opens shorts and grounds, grounded/ungrounded systems and what the difference means, and youre good. Rest of it just code, like building code or whatever youre working on. Most electricians dont know shit lmao.
>>544954554Hmmmm... Nyo!
>>544954554That man has never worked a day in his life.
>>544954554>The man that cosplays as a blue collar salt of the earth worker and who has never actually worked a day in his life opines about men needing to work
>>544954554Never had any.
>>544954554Always this shit. It's the dumbest shit I've heard.The will to work is still there. People would just rather not work for less and less.Note how it's always some dumb richfag spewing this shit. They know nothing about what it's like to buckle down, earn a shit ton of money through hard labor, and then have it all burned through by rising prices.
>>544954554>he met three electricians under the age of 30 who are making more than $250,000 each.And that's exactly what he thinks is the problem, isn't it? That fucking nigger wants them working in a literal shithole, digging up busted sewer pipes for $6 an hour.Fuck Kike Rowe
>>544954554you can not break a persons will and crush their confidence and expect them to just get back on their feet, glue the shards back together and start to overachieve to the benefit of those that caused unimaginable suffering.the damage they caused is permanent. there is no apologies and return to normal.this is the end and they are responsible for it. now they can eat up what they cooked.
>>544954554They did get their pride back, thats why theyre not working for you.
>>544957009it is their sociopathic way of mockery they know they can tell you hey this is the indicator, this is the problemwhile at the same time cook up 100 intentional fuckups, legal, sociocultural, organizatorial and administrative traps, remove prophylactic and or basic protective systems and workflows... and so on look at germany, or the states, look at what these gullible assholes did to this nation, those fucking idiots, party book npc zombies, muh ideology, muh public image, everything is fucked you can not repair all this shit fuck this and you wont rebuild it either because you have nobody who can rebuild it propernobody cares thats why you have only sockpuppet networks and on the other end astroturf activists, but all these lack the most important thing, loyalty, they wont fight to protect, they will gtfo if they face suffering, until then they will circlejerk and protect their little sociopath pyramid scheme. the scheme that keeps corroding the foundation, and one day the hosue will collapse and crush them or leave them out to fight for themselves.
>>544957861>Why are the Boomers like this?no sense of responsibilityattached image of authority through oldfaggotry covering up a construct of incompetence and gullibility running on a mix of chance and favorable environmental conditions
>>544957905>makes shut it down desperation countersignal post>argues botdrivenlmao you realize your argument is irrelevant right ?lurk moar
>>544954554Really sick of this boomer chirping about “muh lack of work ethic” every year. He grew up in a majority white country, was basically guaranteed a wife, house, kids, purchasing power, cultural dominance, high trust and even his entertainment was good.Modern white men in the west sre being genocided and having their future handed to shitskins and invaders. No one wants to work because no one has a stake in the future of the west and we are actively being ripped away from any xhance at even a modicum of prosperity and freedom.Every western government is elected by importing subhumans and isn’t legitimate. Im not fucking working so somalis can get free money and women can kill babies in their womb.FUCK YOU, YOU DUMB CUNT
>>544959093yep and this is how civilizations collapse, the people who make them withdraw as there's no point in keeping it going for the brown invader hordes
>>544956209>>DURR YOU ARE A JEW They/them think you're trying to push for higher education to give out student loans. They/them cannot comprehend that in glorious countries like Germany we do indeed have free universities.
>>544956240Imagine that pledge from the point of view of the employer and it's easy to recognize the enormous boomer entitlement.
>>544954554No love no pride, simple as.
>>544954554Time for the "able-bodied" women to lay bricks and do road work. We're tired.
>>544954554wow imagine that.Letting Republicans steal all the money and dumping what's left to build sports programs might have been a mistake. Whodathunk?Once again the people responsible for these fuckups won't suffer one iota. They already have mansions across the country and millions in the stock market.Zero accountability in this shit hole country that continues to lean on the reserve and petrodollar to hedge against its piss poor criminal leadership.I wonder what these white nationalist shit fucks think is going to happen when all the skilled workers are brown. Hint: they aren't going to elect stupid old loe IQ white boomers
mike rowe has never worked a day in his life, is a theater kid opera singer AND QVC SALESMAN. A FUCKING QVC SALESMAN!!
>>544955669the millionaire "tradesmen" is the jew land developer who has 400 minimum wage mexicans using the same ssn and getting a 1099 working for him.
>>544954554able bodied men aren't leaving the workforce, though. the old boomers refuse to retire because they don't actually have a retirement plan and their jobs don't pay enough. the same jobs being advertised constantly by people like OPalso the bosses and managers are fascist retards that talk shit about anyone that isn't their political clone. oh and let's not forget the states that don't have unions, and the unions that get infiltrated by retarded anti-gun liberals that are still capitalists, who are not helping the situation at all
>>544954554I just want an unskilled labor job but all those slots are taken.Or I'm White so nobody is hiring
Can someone explain why there are 0 jobs
>>544954554If those men had any pride they wouldn't be helping to build the panopticon.
>>544956182who cares if they'll work for free, if theyre all extra incompetent retards with fake degrees.remember when google lost all those peoples email and shit a few years back? that was thier precious street shitters using google hardware to set up bitcoin mining operations. they did it at epic games and cisco systems in apex too. >>544958497kek
>>544954650yep, it's the thousandth mike rowe get back to work threadkill yourself, op
>>544954726i am disabled, mike, can you work a little harder for me?
They would workWhen the government stops stealing itAnd stops being run by racists.You let the AI steal the creative workYou let tariffs steal both creative and hardwork.You let corporations pay to raise the prices even higherYou put us to war.We are overtaxed and the system needs to fail before I do anything. Your move.
