Mike Rowe is an American treasure!!

The house we bought back in 1975 was built by the shop class at the local high school. It was auctioned off when it was finished and my dad won the auction. No idea what he paid for it, but it was so fun watching it roll down the road on a huge trailer to our foundation!

What a wonderful thought...not all kids are sitting in their rooms glued to games and you tube. Not all kids are pretending to care. Not all large corporations are focused on the dollar over the greater good of people. This is a trifecta of what's great about humanity. This is the true spirit of life...people helping people. Sadly, none of us will see this every 5 seconds on the news or pounded down our throats on social media. A huge shout out to Mike Rowe for the spotlight shining on what's right about America. Thank you. I wish the greatest blessings to all involved.

I am 65 years old and have worked in the trades one way or another all my life. I have been an auto mechanic, plumber, electrician, carpenter, ran a framing crew, ran software and designed roof and floor truss systems, managed a truss manufacturing company. When I got out of high school I figured if I could fix a car and or most things in a house that I would never be with out a job, and I never have, and still do work at it. The things that Mike Rowe are doing with and for these young people and help get them into the trades is a great thing and great for this country. It does this old heart good to see the young people getting into this type of work and Mike Rowe helping them any way he can along the way. We need more people like this in this country now more than ever. Keep up the good work Mike, you are doing a great thing.

I'm so happy to see you helping young people get into the trades. I helped my college grad niece, who was working at a dead end security guard job, get into an electrician apprenticeship. She's making good money, she's happy, and doing great.

Great stuff! My Dad was a unionized Carpenter up here in Canada, making BIG bucks all over Canada mostly on northern hydro dam construction. Myself, I was an underground mining equipment operator, which is recognized as a trade in Ontario Canada. I also made BIG money on a trade that I truly loved, I'm retired now after 43 years, but still miss it so much.

I’m a grumpy old man lol having grown up in the 70’s and working after the military, a great time in all my memories and was genuinely concerned about our future generations. These young men have restored my faith in the younger people coming up now. The mainstream media tends to focus on the turmoil and not so much on the positive stories like this. Thanks Mr. Rowe for caring about our future civilization.

What a great video. Thanks Mike!

Mike, you inspire, continuously. You show America REAL Americans that the MSM will never show us and the Americans the MSM fears.

We need more of this. I know I was meant to come to college (I'm in my final semester now!) but college is not for everyone. My main complaint about high school is that it prepares for college but not for the world. In my opinion, high school should provide the option for people to take more classes preparing them for life on their own. How do you do taxes? How can maintain a vehicle? So and so on. High school should also help people explore different careers. My cousin became a welder and loved what he did. Too any people are pushed towards college for no good reason. Plenty get here and drop out due to the difficulty and lack of motivation (since they do t really want to be an X) and plenty of others get useless majors because they think a degree is essential for life when it really isn't. A degree is only important in some fields. A degree from college does not equate to success or happiness, it's just another step towards those things if you believe you will be happy working in those careers. People have to love what they do for a living or else they will hate living.

Congrats to both for doing something really impactful in theirs and others' lives. I know that the world is aching for a lot of hard working and honest people in the building trades.

💕 love Mike! Good mentor!

Great job mike. Saving American jobs one kid at a time.

As always brother thank you for your service God bless you and your's Take care and have a great day Just saying

I was a college drop out due to my Uncle Sam. I eventually became a telephone tech which gave me a good career. My youngest uncle was an electrical contractor and did very well for himself. While working, I was always impressed with electricians on the job so if there is another life ahead, I want to become an electrician.

Awesome. The training and the people are great. Hunter chose a great field...it is unlikely people will stop using electricity...for at least a few months...

Great Job Aaron and Hunter!

"Cry on your own time." 😂😂😂 Love it! Great video.

THIS CHANNEL HAS GIVEN US A WEALTH OF CREATIVE MATERIAL !!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS AND ROCK ON MIKE ROWE CHANNEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FROM LINDA AT THE LAUNRY MAT !!!!!!!!!

Mike Rowe in my opinion is what an Old School Eagle Scout looks like all grown up.

Here in the Phoenix area is a votech program for all high school students valley wide. They have a large community College size campus for every trade and craft imaginable. Mike, take a look if you havent already.

This is an awesome program!! Keep it up guys, you’re doing great things for the youth of today. Thank you!!

So cool! God is raising up some real leaders! I graduated high school in 1975, I watched these programs fade away. We are now desperate for their return. We encouraged white collar for so long, doctors and lawyers, we need these too, but if we don’t have builders, plumbers, electricians to build the buildings we live and work in......

Awesome!

This episode is great. everything is about learning and putting the time.I learned many trades and like to see the youth get involve. It's their future. More power to them. " Thanx Mike for the Video"

KZfaq HAS GOT US ADDICTED TO MIKE ROWE !!!!!!!!! GUESS THAT'S BETTER THAN BEING ADDICTED TO SMACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! This is SO impressive! Good job, guys!

Mike come to SC we build houses in at our Career Centers.

Love. Love LOVE This!!!

God Bless Mike Rowe!

Not related to this video but your newest episode of dirty jobs. What was up with the guy all offended in Nashville when you were trying to give away rock? What can you reveal there?

Mike.. Looking for guidance on post HS opportunities for kids with disabilities. I feel like it's good experience for all kids but especially for kids with disabilities to have with trade jobs ..

Good job ♥. We need it

love you podcast mike

America is in desperate need of young men and women like the ones in this video, I've been a metal fabricator for 45 years and I have watched the trade fade away it's heartbreaking 🇺🇸🗽🙏

This is fabulous

Awesome job young men

Let's get dirty and some hard work done!

That is awesome

Wolverine is a good boot,apparently a good company also.

Mike, not sure if this is the video to comment on. I worked in the shipyard for 16 years (family business as Pipefitters). I loved my job and was one of the youngest guys there (which bothered me). I’m now a Police Officer and our department, like many are short staffed. Physical labor and public service are in a horrible decline. Keep up the fight my friend!

This is amazing

Mike, Florida supposedly brought it back.

Mike Rowe ........................Thank You!

Back pocket skills are irreplaceable. As a machinist I concur, go anywhere in the world and get a job if I need to. Helicopter skills are the same, but more fun! :D

. 💪🏻 Aaron Hunter 👍🏻 👏🏻 Mike 🖖🏻 🤝

I'm 54, in my neck of the woods one had to enroll in Agriculture and become an FFA livestock judging fool in Jr High for first semester to get the OPPORTUNITY for second semester shop class...

Mike Rowe for President......

Mike, you and John McWhorter need to know about each other. You're both talking about the same solutions for young men.

I really wish I would have had shop classes when I was in high school. All of those classes were gone when I went to high school. No metal, wood, or automotive classes. They had all been closed to save money. Yet they built a new science building with all sorts of gadgets we weren't allowed to used. They thought we would break them. Really sucked.

😍😍😍

SHOP CLASS ALSO GAVE US A CHANCE TO MAKE OUR OWN ASH TRAY !!!!!!!!!!!

REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD GO OUT BEHIND THE GIANT DUST VACCUM AND SMOKE A CIGARETTE WITH YOUR SHOP TEACHER !!????????? THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!!!!!!!

Idaho teens should avoid college and learn a trade. Service jobs can't be replaced by software. Painters, roofers, drywall, plumbing ,electrical, masonry the list goes on. Builders are short on labor. It's the perfect opportunity to get high school kids a summer job in the home building trade. Give them the same pay as the adults. I would recommend getting “Mike Rowe” involved. This could be an opportunity of a lifetime.

fuck i wish i woulda had this shit before i graduated in 2020

Hi, I’m bob. I have a modest KZfaq channel. One of the attributes of the channel is that we are blue collar lifestyle country boys. I say all that to say this, your message resonates with me, how can we use our channel to come alongside you and help get the message out. Great job! Be well

Wow, these are the innovative ideas we need, not men playing video games

I love how Mike owns the libs by having Americans and African Americans on his show. Brilliant! Stick it to the Democrats! Let’s go Brandon! Trump 2024!
