The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Mike Rowe

  • We are lending money we don’t have to kids who can’t pay it back to train them for jobs that no longer exist. That’s nuts.
  • Passion is too important to be without, but too fickle to be guided by. Which is why I’m more inclined to say, ‘Don’t Follow Your Passion, But Always Bring it With You.’
  • The skills gap is a reflection of what we value. To close the gap, we need to change the way the country feels about work.
  • The flaw in our character is our insistence on separating blue-collar jobs from white-collar jobs, and encouraging one form of education over another.
  • Happiness comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs.
  • Some jobs pay better, some jobs smell better, and some jobs have no business being treated like careers. But work is never the enemy, regardless of the wage. Because somewhere between the job and the paycheck, there’s still a thing called opportunity, and that’s what people need to pursue.
  • Happiness does not come from a job. It comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that’s consistent with those beliefs. Many people today resent the suggestion that they’re in charge of the way they feel.Those people are mistaken. That was a big lesson and I learned it several hundred times before it stuck. What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you, is completely up to you.
  • I think a trillion dollars of student loans and a massive skills gap are precisely what happens to a society that actively promotes one form of education as the best course for the most people. I think the stigmas and stereotypes that keep so many people from pursuing a truly useful skill, begin with the mistaken belief that a four-year degree is somehow superior to all other forms of learning.
  • Opportunity usually shows up in overalls and looking like work.
  • What you do, who you’re with, and how you feel about the world around you are completely up to you.
