The idea of following your passion may sound romantic, but it usually doesn't work out the way you think it will, according to "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe.
Many people plan their life around finding job satisfaction and often, "that plan includes borrowing vast sums of money in order to go to a four-year school to get the degree that will allow you to get to the next step as you seek to get the thing that will make you happy," he says. And finding opportunity in the job market is key, according to Rowe. He says many people he featured on "Dirty Jobs" were actually multimillionaires who achieved success by fulfilling a gap in the market rather doing what they were personally interested in.
Rowe isn't the only entrepreneur who rejects the idea of following your passion to determine your career.
'Yeah, sure, following my passion and dreams is the least I should do with my life. Thanks for the advice, Mike!'
MakeIt Dammit Mike— I wanted to be a military pilot since I was 3. I did everything and hit all the wickets and people and politics blocked me. Sometimes close friends, family, and leaders. It made me miserable. Well said.
MakeIt I totally agree with Mike Rowe! People should try a dirty job and they may find their true passion Mikerowe TheView FLOTUS Dirtyjob Passion studentloans
MakeIt Do whatever you do sincerely. And Allah will reward how your deed is.
MakeIt TL;DR, find out what other people aren't doing and do it. Humans are fairly resilient and you'll likely excel and make much more money than your peers as long as you can tolerate the initial dissatisfaction.
MakeIt Why do you pump Mike Rowe into our households? Shame on you for the harm you cause America.
MakeIt Mike is a fraud
MakeIt The real issue is finding YOUR passion. Getting our there and exploring your options. Working hard in high school to keep options open. Gaining real experience
MakeIt Wasn’t it reported that Mr Rowe is funded by the Koch brothers and they steer his public voice?
MakeIt Another rich guy telling you not to chase your dreams. Eat the rich.
MakeIt Listen to this man 📣
MakeIt All I do all day, everyday is staff jobs.
madelinetrade MakeIt This is what your reporting on What about Twitter files?
MakeIt Trumper. Guess Jan 6th did not work out for him so he does this instead ________
MakeIt Best never to listen to that Fool.
MakeIt You think Mike is a Crypto Bro?
MakeIt Very interesting. We Always said that people need to do what they are good at. Normally they will be very happy if they have the respect from all their peers.
MakeIt Great key data 'They simply...learned a skill that was in demand. Then they got hired applying that skill. Then they figured out how to get really, really good at it' I actually did this with my realestate career then went on to do my own company.
MakeIt he looks like ray dalio but not as dirty
MakeIt What hubbub.
MakeIt Well here it is. Entertainers are grossly overpaid. One makes as much talking about a job as one does a whole year at it.
MakeIt
MakeIt Follow your passion is the WORST career advice you can give to a young person❗️
MakeIt get paid from the koch family? I can do that too Mike?
MakeIt Mike LOVES to take money from the Koch family, worked out great for him.
MakeIt How many more decades do I have to listen to him repeat this?
MakeIt Dreams are for losers, kids. Uncle Sam Wants You 🇺🇸
MakeIt There's no greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free debts 😊, that's why I keep posting a comment about Mrs Nichelle_1111
MakeIt Good old Mike, always pimping for cuts to wages and benefits. He just never shuts up.
MakeIt Mike Rowe is one of my heroes. Dirty Jobs was a great show. Lots of wisdom in this clip.
MakeIt Says a guy with no passion for anything.
MakeIt Great thoughts

MakeIt horrible
MakeIt Says the guy who hosts a TV show about working. 😂😂😂
MakeIt nice
MakeIt my passion is taking money from the Kochs, what's yours Mike?
MakeIt Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! Anne Frank
MakeIt
MakeIt Isn't he endlessly bankrolled and employed by libertarians and right-wing think tanks who specifically exploit his fame and reputation?
MakeIt You mean trump lover Rowe?
MakeIt this is terrible news
MakeIt I don't watch Mike's stuff anymore because he's a trumpster.
MakeIt Oh man, Mike Rowe is a Communications major. He's made a whole living with his nice voice and playing actor like he's a blue-collar worker. When will it end? 🙄
MakeIt I did it. 😀👍🏽
MakeIt Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about RonelMoses32 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
MakeIt Until employers stop requiring degrees, workers will continue pursuing them. Forecasts predict degree-requiring jobs & people w/ degrees are roughly in line. If anything, we’re short of people with degrees. Yes, there’s alternatives, but ppl aren’t getting degrees for no reason.
MakeIt Mikes passion is taking money from the koch family
MakeIt Whispering, Massive Ohio Rally! 'President Trump will be LIVE tonight at 7p.m eastern standard time! You won't want to miss it! 💜

MakeIt Mike's passion is taking money from the oil and chemical companies, and it's working out great for him.
MakeIt Agree w you partially mikeroweworks , although not everyone’s passion path is thru college . DEFINITELY follow your passion and inner guidance ppl and also get out of school asap . Longer you are there = the longer you are miseducated about history . Spend your $100k+ elsewhere
MakeIt True story, mike, wise words.
MakeIt Well, in the [first] place, college costs too damn much money...so, there's that. 😐
MakeIt Thanks Mr. Now I feel normal.
MakeIt People need to stop listening to this guy.

MakeIt Mike Rowe is a fraud. Thanks for giving him air time 🙄.
MakeIt My passion is making others miserable. What should I do? Join antifa or blm? ✊🏿
MakeIt Mikes passion is taking money from the Kochs and oil companies and he’s doing just fine.
MakeIt Says the dude who followed his passion?
MakeIt I am recently in your country, looking for new friends
MakeIt Looking😍😍 at how obliged and indebted I am feeling towards you right now, I have realized that kindness is actually one of the greatest weapons any person can ever have. Thank you LISATOWNSENDC
MakeIt
MakeIt all those people that say find your passion are just making money off you. Work is work find a job where the boss isn't a A hole and you'll do fine.
MakeIt Be a rich boy trained opera singer who plays dress-up as actual working professionals.
MakeIt
MakeIt Do this instead, take huge amounts of money from oil and chemical companies to spread blue collar propaganda.
MakeIt Fabulous advice
MakeIt Mike, You looked a little familiar but I couldnt place you! I got it. You don't have your hat on! Now I know you.💚🤪
MakeIt where dirty Jobs isis dirty Gates
MakeIt facecardllc
MakeIt Well put it ... That's a fact
MakeIt Please take a second to follow me. Beginning soon I will be making videos discussing the absurdities of news stories and the problems surrounding situations that occur and political activity, such as this article.
MakeIt Interesting timing. profgalloway I believe you might have been poached!
MakeIt be careful who u look up to ... this corporation will have u signing up to be a government slave instead of doing riHt by ErF

MakeIt Trumper.. big time. Unfollowed long ago.
MakeIt Makes sense to me! I have always loved watching his show!
MakeIt This guy is a corporate funded stooge. I’ll carry on as I was
MakeIt nice
MakeIt I think this is horse malarkey.
MakeIt The example he gives is Mark Cuban, whose passion was basketball, but describes how he fell in love with technology and made $$$ and bought a basketball team. If that’s not “following your passion” don’t know what is.
MakeIt “Joe Biden is like one of the fathers in the neighborhood I grew up with as a kid. They were firemen and policemen, and there was an innate decency to most of them that he carries naturally with him. It’s very American.” Bruce Springsteen Reported by David Brooks In The Atlantic
MakeIt so true. Just told the same exact thing during a presentation to seniors in college here in Florida.
MakeIt good
MakeIt Welcome to America. No hopes and dreams. Don't follow your passion.
MakeIt How can there be a Dirtier Job than working for tRump? 🤔
MakeIt Make a TV show?
MakeIt Yeah, this dudes advice is mad trash and sounds like Oprah with a baseball cap smh He needs to like just stop talking and giving advice no one asks for.
MakeIt CNBC promoting work ethic !?
MakeIt you need to fail at what you love before you find who you are and what you might be instead.
MakeIt Follow your passion is one of my least favorite suggestions. Your passion doesn't always pay the bills. Your passion may have limited opportunity. Your passion may be unrealistic. Find a company you like to work for and then find something to be passionate about in your job.
MakeIt You are so true. I became a RN. I worked and all the time unhappy. I later worked as a Waitres. I loved this job and was very happy. I witnessed when I was younger and loved it. I was a good nurse but the political environment of the hospital made me uneasy. Lessen to live by.
MakeIt Thank you for this!
MakeIt When has M.R. EVER posted a fight for 15?....like I said fuck him and the corporate train he rode in on!
MakeIt Wow. Washington DC. You don’t see this everyday. A TON of Trump supporters:
MakeIt Mike Rowe is not pro-worker, he is a fake sentimental and Non-effective face for 'caring about the working class' Farce. Sponsored by corporate America and the GOP.
MakeIt I am really dirty for having shown my tits and vagina to my US trolls. I can’t do the full time prostitution though. I’d rather support ISIS, I mean US allies. Hahaha
MakeIt I’m waiting to see an episode involving the recycled condom scandal!
MakeIt lol young people STOP LISTENING TO OLD PEOPLE LOL. all of food is twisted opinion.
MakeIt Huh? Such a depressing take... chase your passion or work will just be a job.
MakeIt Yeah, just be a miserable fuck
MakeIt That’s what Roger Stone did too! RubioReport
MakeIt Mike Rowe is an idiot.
MakeIt Words to live by
MakeIt Rowe is not a person from whom I would take ANY advice, let alone life advice. (And by “person” I mean “giant tool.”)
MakeIt Is he a Trumper?
MakeIt 👀
MakeIt You should be a Narrator👌🏻👍🏻 ... You have THE PERFECT VOICE for it... You speak EXCELLENTLY✅ ... Also, by the way, “Are You Married?” I’ve watched your show a lot ...
MakeIt Says guy mikeroweworks following his passion.
MakeIt Mike is an idiot. Don’t listen to Mike.
MakeIt Follow your passion, fuck anyone who tells you to settle for a financial opportunity. You got one life, make it count.
MakeIt What a bunch of platitudes. Student debt is student debt. My university is consistantly in the 90 precentiall for thier job placement rate. Yes there are shame universities and Betsy better listen to the judge. Do what you want folks. Cuban found out he loved coding go search.
MakeIt Since realDonaldTrump is this degenerate, ungodly, treasonous, corrupt, unethical, sexual predator, adulterer, grifter, liar, tax & insurance fraudster, & may have stolen up to $65 millions in inheritance from his niece & nephew, what do you think attract the white evangelical?
I rake in $31.11/hr plus bennies, a cell phone, and a company gas card, so I am proud. I believe in hard work and am still searching for my place in the pecking order.
MakeIt No.
MakeIt Ever wonder why people working these 'dirty' jobs advocate going to college the most? Following your passion is only for over privileged people, who can afford it, I suppose.
MakeIt Meh it does if you presist.
MakeIt Suck me from the back Mike
MakeIt
MakeIt yup, it worked for The life of Winthrop Rockefeller Winthrop entered the oil industry on the ground floor, working the oil fields of Texas and Louisiana as a roustabout and roughneck from 1934 to 1937.
MakeIt Says the guy that followed his passion
MakeIt If your IQ is below 100, your chances of getting a good job are close to Zero. And 1/2 the US population is below 100.
MakeIt Well Said!
MakeIt Hope more people listen to your advice Mike! I know I wish I had earlier in my life but I'm still grinding to get what I want
MakeIt Never give up your day job.
I am requiring them to spend a week in jail if they don't.
