I like the show and have become a fan of Mike Rowe. I see his behavior more of "Man, your jub DOES suck" more so than "Man, you sure suck to have such a sucky job".
I have one of those dirty jobs and has been shown on the show and I give Mike Rowe all the credit in the world for doing what he does. I only do one of those dirty jobs , he does them all for one day or two and then moves on to another, that is not easy to do. lets face it , it is a TV show and I am sure some of his dialog is in the script and has to say what they tell him and some of it is his personallity and I have no problem with that. I think he is down to earth and tells it like it is so we all know what some people have to endor to make a living and bring home the bacon. he does get bitten by all kinds of critters and cut and banged up pretty good and he could easily die doing some of these dirty jobs, that is the chance he takes, look what happened to Steve Erwin, I loved that guy. Anyway,I work on military aircraft and crawl around in the fuel tanks all day, it is nasty, smelly,hot and very phisical.
I am so sore and tired right now I will be going to bed early. I am 59 and doing a job that will put a hurting on a 22 year old rookie. Mike is a good guy, that is my two cents in this topic !!
