That gives him more credibility in the subject as opposed to you sitting at your computer saying his experience doesn't mean shit cause he didn't devote his life to it He "did" the job indeed. That isn't the same thing as "working" at the job. He went into the job as "actor" and left as "actor" and during the entire process was "actor". Not once was he "shit cleaner" or "janitor". That's a very distinct difference. Anyways, you're literally sitting at your computer shit posting so are we all.

He's a communications graduate that hasn't worked an actual "dirty job" in his life. He did that show for years and he got in there and did every job. Just because he wasn't employed full time at whichever company doesn't mean he didn't work the job. Y'all acting like he just stood there instead of getting up in there. Yea it was a tv show but he still did the jobs. Guy has done pretty much every dirty job in the world if only for a day each and I say certainly say that makes him eligible to speak on such matters There's a huge difference between cleaning shit for 10 dollars an hour everyday and doing it once for a salary that likely treads in the millions. --- DON'T DEFINE ME BY MY WIENER https://youtu.be/Zt7Kj2Yg0y8 <cite>BettyWhite posted [p:879652754] in Mike Rowe ...

Some of it is pretty useful tbh, but he is basically just saying "bootstraps" over and over. He is also telling you to be complacent with a crappy job, but do it with a smile. The bootstraps mentality isn't wrong it's just grossly overused. We all have to bury our heads and just power through it sometimes. There needs to be a better balance of understanding your circumstances/limitations and working hard. Basically work harder not smarter. Don't overly romanticize working crappy jobs.
