    Good jobs

    Mike Rowe's book contains a series of articles building on the concept of honest work at good to high pay. While the TV show "Dirty Jobs" was sensational, his book fills in more details in both an informative and entertaining way. He is hitting a point that many of these jobs are unfilled because of prejudice compared to those who get a college education without employment based on it. I bought this book to donate to his MikeRoweWorks Foundation and encourage other to recognize the truths in this book.

    Good book bad printing

    I really like the book. My problem is with the quality of the print. Ink is so light it is difficult to read. The pages stick together and are hard to get apart. But the message and where the money goes make it worth it.

  • Required reading to graduate from high school and re-read for every year spent in college/technical College.

    Every high School student should read this book and be required to do a book report as a requisite to Graduate. And re-assign to college students.

  • Worth the price of admission.

    A very enjoyable book, you can almost hear Mike Rowe's voice when reading it. I bought a couple of copies to give away, and support MikeRoweWORKS.

  • Must read!

    There is just no other way to say it, Mike Rowe hits the nail on the head every time with this book (unlike the show, sometimes he missed the nail and hit his thumb). This is a timely piece of sanity that should be required reading from 9th grade up to and including the career college student (mom and dad paying for college for next 12 years? Cool!!!). What I want to know is when will Mike run for President? (hand waving in air) he has my vote!

  • Connected

    Mike's on target with his belief that America has lost, and continues to lose, tradesmen. Worth the read. Most importantly, the book provides funds to support the foundation Mike created.

  • Great way to support

    I couldn't be prouder to support Mike Rowe and his foundation with the purchase of this book. I'm going to get another one to gift to a friend soon. :)

  • Life isn't fair!

    If we dared uttered, "But it's not fair." we cringed because we knew the broken record of a lecture was soon to follow. In a booming voice, "The sooner you learn, the better off you will be that NOTHING in this life is fair." This book is a reminder of the older generation's wisdom. That life is not always fair, but you can choose to make the best of your situation or pout and accomplish nothing.
