Why Dirty Jobs Matter
Why has America declared a war on work? Mike Rowe will give an illuminating account of the true nature of skilled labor, and why it's being devalued by the media, advertising, and even the government. Why are people who do dirty jobs some of the happiest people you'll ever meet? What lessons can we learn about teamwork, determination, efficiency, and our definition of success? Mike Rowe will bring you face-to-face with Americans who are simply doing their jobs, happily and well. In the process, he will remind you of the enormous but forgotten benefits of hard, honest work, and how it affects everything from our national identity to our infrastructure to the economy.
