> to accept shitty jobs Welding is a "shitty job?" I'd disagree entirely, and I think that would be Mike Rowe's position as well, and I think he directly cautions against the mentality you're attempting to take to these careers. You're also seemingly leaving no space for owner operated businesses. > I can't think of any other reason to do this—I don't know many men who long for dirtier jobs so they're seen as more manly. Doesn't that just undercut your own thesis, then? Or are you operating on the presumption that the advice being given by Mike Rowe is meant to be universal and you should upend your life in order to chase it? I don't see that at all. I'm still baffled as to how you'd see any of this as "anti-labor."
