we watch that show all the time, they had a little marathon yesterday that we watched. I've seen the castration episode, I wish they would have show the footage of the "humane" way of doing it
he is right though, nobody wants to work anymore. I guess I'm as guilty as the next guy in that fact that I work in IT. but if shit hit the fan I'd be happy to be a pipe fitter, welder, sheet metal worker, whatever, it makes no difference to me.
Its funny, one of the ladies I work with has a 20 YO son and he jointed the iron workers union. everyone gave him shit about not going to school and not persuing something better, then he flashes a pic of him and his co-workers hanging an american flag on top of 40 stories of steel and goes "what exactly is better?"

That was a great video. Mike is an awesome guy for sure. I'd like them to come shoot a dirty jobs show in my workplace.
I work in a plywood plant/sawmill. Its definitly one of the jobs he was talking about people not wanting to do anymore. I work in a loud, hot, dirty, dusty, dangerous environment but I love it. People in my mill still lose fingers and hands on occasion. LOL
I am lucky in that I have one of the higher paying jobs in the place without getting into management. I operate/maintain a log lathe that peels over 3,000 logs per day into almost 400,000 sq feet of veneer for laminating into plywood.
Here is video.
