Mike Rowe had a TV show about dirty jobs, where he revealed some pretty bad jobs. Well, they are bad if you think everything is pristine and smells good. Reality is that there are good jobs that pay well that are not filled because we have a generation that wants to keep their hands clean.
Today, young people are told to follow their passion. Reality is that just because you have a passion, you may not have the talent or skills to ever make the passion come true. Rowe says that one should come to realize that you don’t follow your passion, you take it with you into the real world where you have to earn money to eat and all that other fun stuff.
I don’t know if this country is capable making a cultural change back to where good, honest jobs are held in the esteem they once were. It will require that people make any job a good job by showing up for work on time and staying late if necessary to get the job done. And, it just may be that the passion you are told to follow, will follow you into a job that will give you income, and happiness.
My passion was to be a singer and a musician.
My talent is to listen to music and keep my mouth shut.
