My son is 29 he started welding at 16 He does military, microscopic, and generally any other type of welding. He spent $0 on education (they paid him; even to take the military certs) He has never needed a loan and owns his home, cars, truck, motorcycle, and RV outright. This year he will be opening his own shop doing work for medical and our military. Life is hard, but by paying his dues from 16-20 he had an incredible headstart on these children that are graduating at 21 with 150k in debt and limited job prospects.

Buried in the video message could be that employers need to invest in "basic training" to attract and keep talent - but that costs money, and if new talent will leave at the drop of a hat, training will need to come from elsewhere. Models already exist for this, such a specialized schools, unions (hmmm), and just low-level entry jobs that teach (knowingly or unknowingly) people skills, timeliness, and hopefully advancement opportunities if available, yet we (USA) are continuing to ignore these fundamentals. Thanks Mike, for placing the spotlight on this and other related areas.

what a great way to start my day! Good laugh!!!!

Mike is a grounded, pragmatic and honest man. I dearly wish he would enter the political arena.

[@brianduggan1571]

More people need to start at the bottom. They will earn their respect and learn work ethic.

[@aparson2967]

I honestly wish Mike Rowe would run for president on the non-party ticket. Just let people judge a man by the content of his character.

[@farmerbill6855]

Why? Because you like him? He has zero desire or experience, he just explained you need to start at the bottom to be successful at anything. Treating the presidency like a popularity contest is why we're in the crapper now.

[@nancyhood3996]

Michael……I have been thinking on this for a long time since I started watching this……and for the Life Of Me, Your GF..LOL💋 where were peeps like these two upstanding gents, when I was their age …..wtf..24….. Michael…we are gonna Be on a roll❣❣ we desperately need to recruit these love young peeps.

[@nancyhood3996]

How old is Ryan…when was this shot??? I am BLOWN AWAY by this man….

[@kimfleury]

I must have been the only student in my college classes who wondered what this had to do with the real world on the job. And yet when I got my first job, I was expected to know everything.

[@nancyhood3996]

cutest…thing…ever….Can I adopt Ryan???

[@ldn0224]

The degree is just the beginning of the work. It can work out but a degree is just the start.

[@squintin480]

You can tell a lot about a man by the hat he wears. Taylor looks like he's put in some hard work by the sweat ring on his hat!

[@12345678927164]

Good working boys turn into hard working men.

[@tjhorne82]

This was good stuff.

[@dannykyle7950]

Hi Mike. I've been a die-hard fan for a very long time. I used to live on Mackinac Island. I was there when you came to the island and I was just wondering how your memory is, considering all the places you've been and people you've met. When you and your crew first got on the island and you were filming road apples early in the morning, my girlfriend and I came down to open the Irish Pub. I walked out to the street to meet you and your crew. You were every bit the gentleman I was hoping you would be. I'm just curious as to how much you remember of all the places you've been. Because we certainly remember you. (Btw... My girlfriend actually made it into the opening of the episode, even though I didn't. Lol)

[@BuffsGarage]

Mike!! You should come see what's happening at #nonamenationals in Sikeston, MO Sept 30-Oct. 1.. A car guy event for car guys who also MUST be KZbin content creators.. Everyone must have KZbin subs over 500 or more.. WE COULD USE SOMEONE TO SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM TO OPEN THE EVENT!

[@nancyhood3996]

Michel❣ Ryan is adorable….so shy, work ethic, wow…on and on……is it a Southern thing?? Or Western??? Nope….well, well, well….Michael…. Never thought of it this way, but a Human Being !! ‘What a concept… Ryan can be a “Happy Place:….See where at am going with this? U know what I am trying to convey to u??? THINK, THINK. THINK……said Pooh Bear… BTW…I ❤ u. “precious one”……OH…LA…LA….

[@Andrew85or]

How he didn't say Saving Private Ryan blows my mind.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Hey Mikey! I liked it, I liked it a lot. Kudos to your casting protégés. Cheers, Mate.

[@shantillydrake283]

That's awesome what these two guys have done to get started in what they want to do in life 😁 And Mike you really should see the hunger games and you'll see it's not a chick flick 🙄

[@katie7748]

Read the books too!

[@richardfowler3254]

When someone would show up on one of my jobs fresh out of school with their certificate, I would tell them that now you know enough to start "learning on the job". To me and the way I would train a new hand was that we all knew the same language but now it's time to learn how to do the job...

[@chadpreece970]

Starting at the bottom, you learn in practice how a company works, so when you hit a spot where you can make changes in the company. You'll know what will really help vs a theory that is taught. Life is not one size fits all. In fact that's the reason our prison are full of weed dealers , mandatory sentences weren't too be tough on crime, it was too keep inmate numbers high, being the only country that has a prison for profit system. Look back at the senator's and congressman that pushed for it. Offs are themselves or someone close had recently purchased a bunch of stock in the companies running out prisons. Sorry got way off track
