There are definitely bad jobs; Mike Rowe, former TV host, just hasn't worked them.

I like Mike Rowe, but this whole "working man" image he puts up is bull shit. He's a communications graduate that hasn't worked an actual "dirty job" in his life.


These. Hard to take him all that seriously tbh. Working some dirty jobs for a TV crew doesn't exactly make him an authority on employment.


Except if you actually read things he has to say, he never claims to be a blue collar worker. He completely owns up to being a TV man. He's never called himself anything else.
What he DOES do, is he sets out to honor these kinds of workers and de-stigmatize the jobs they do, as well as run a fucking charity for people who want to go into trade jobs.
His shtick isn't "Hey everyone, do blue collar work like me.", it's "Hey everyone, don't make the same mistake I did, give blue collar work a shot."

I hate to play the hurr liberal card since I hate conservatrolls as much at the next person, but yeah, ths kind of backlash against Rowe (in fact this exact rhetoric of HES NOT A REAL WORKING MAN) was started largely as counterargument from pissy liberals mad that people are calling Bill Nye out.
The guy never gets political, so I don't know why the far left views him as such a fucking affront to their beliefs.
