McDonalds does not have that many jobs, nor do they control how much they are paid Each McDonalds is owed and operated by an individuals A person that lives in your community, is a small business operator that provides a service and opportunity in your community Picketing “Corporate”, McDonalds will accomplish nothing

And oh yeah, let the college people go into the service, NOW ! Instead of the pinko pukes that they are now ! with their teachers ! make the draft a requirement of college !

Fast food workers want 15 bucks an hour I dont see that happening because serving people greasy food is not a profitable trade It's the lowest job available for teenagers to get

The only thing they don’t learn is Customer service if they want $15 an hour to give me crappy customer service I would rather deal with a robot and it will probably get my order right all the time instead of me having to take my food back up there to get it fixed and worrying about if my food is getting spit in or worse so I just eat it and go on about my bay

I do agree with you 👍

nothing more satisfying than when you have finished a job, stand back and look at what you've built

When i was a kid, McDonalds had handicap, elderly, and special needs employees Now its just lazy minorities and the quality is worse
Comment from : @infinitelystoned5812

I'd like to see a "higher education" person make a perfectly even board out of a piece of lumber I love philosophy, literature etc but while they're still working on their master's degree (bachelor degrees are hardly enough to get a job), every factory in the area will demand my skill to operate an automated saw mill And it pays Want a well-paying job fast? Learn how to operate a complicated machine for a factory

I don't know about automation, but if MCDs were to do this, they would be paying out 24,480,000,000 per year MCDs generates roughly 27 Billion dollars a year brDo you believe MCDs should pay $15 per?
Comment from : @erikhopkins9488

I hope that the Hamburgler picked the pockets of these lame - brained protesters! $15 an hour to say "would you like to super-sized that, sir?" Absurd!
Comment from : @anglomik

I am going to be graduating with a bachelor's degree in physics The moment I get out I am going straight into trade school I picked the most rigorous STEM field there is, being akin to engineering but far more abstract, and I can assure everybody that there are zero payable jobs waiting for me when I leave university They always say to major in STEM, but they always seem to fail to mention the sheer amount of higher education necessary to be apparently "useful" to industry, let alone if you want to rot away in the ivory tower for the rest of your lifebrbrIf I knew what I know now at the age of 22 back when I was 18, I would have just bit the bullet and gone straight into trade school I would certainly be 80k dollars lighter in debt if I had done so

Comment from : @stevewalther9965

I could care less what others do Nothing wrong with going to trade school to be an electrician Working hard Going out on your own eventually Hiring employees growing Eventually employing 45 employees and pulling down a half million a year Yep get that masters degree in interpretive dance How’s that pay? Not that those types could

Skills negates the minimum wage discussion What a concept Mike Rowe for president 2024
Comment from : @1968CudaGuy

Whoa mike rowe for sec of education
Comment from : @williamdegrandchamp1657

Hey Mike you know I never really watched your shows that much, because I'm always trying to improve my life and I'm constantly learning and so I spend little time watching TV I like Tucker he seems genuinely honest and a great journalist, but as I was watching Fox News and Tucker (on YouTube), you popped up, and you know I really liked what you were saying I never realized how intelligent and articulate you are It seems that the Dirty Jobs host reminds of of some of my college professors You are remarkably cognitive and very perceptive, Kudos to you, I'm impressed!
Comment from : @mrnobody3380

the reason it's called higher education is because you have to be high as a kite to believe that it's actually going to further you oh wait a minute it will further you will for the deeper into debt than you could ever have possibly imagined my niece salad her parents with over $70,000 worth of debt for her 18 months nursing course not even an RN just a CNA and she work that job for maybe a couple of years and yet as far as I can tell they're still paying on that debt to this day while she decided to forgo the whole working for a living thing and decided instead to find herself a man to enslave for the rest of his life while she sits around ordering things off of Amazon
Comment from : @drewmurdaugh424

That would be fine and dandy if the process of getting in these trades wasn't so retarded
Comment from : @XoJOHNoX96

The one skill I took away from McDonalds was "clean as you go" - I'm not sure that they actually enforce this notion as hard as they did when I worked there It actually translates to "life is not just one task at a time" which of course is now commonly referred to as "multitasking" It is the difference between a good employee and a great employee and everyone is capable of it but I see a lot of people saying "that's not my job", or "I'm not paid for that" and you know, they're right about that but they are incorrect in their thinking The best staff takes control of their own toolbox, they're not happy being put into a box that doesn't give them the chance to grow beyond the immediate task so they're always looking for ways to do things better, faster, smarter Good staff does only what they're told and either awaits further instruction or requests further instruction, that's okay but it means that they only as good as their programing

Most of the people I know in the trades are making way more money than the local school teacher Today you can make 95 t0 125 per hour if you know your trade
Comment from : @bobbrooks80

What's Mike Rowe's trade? TV host? I'm so sick of these people who don't work in the trades talking about how awesome they are
Comment from : @mortalmike5696

The two most inflationary components in the cost of everything are minimum wage and fuel/energy cost As they go up the cost of everything follows and who is hurt the most? The people who have to spend most of their disposable income to survive not the ones who have the additional income not used for getting by We keep raising these costs and it hurts the minimum wage earners the most

Driving a semi, no experience, will net you over $15 an hour And it is not a physically demanding job But, for some reason, people do not want to consider it

I learn the basic skill of auto mechanics in high school Finished school in 75 and have been turning wrench's for over 40 years it's been a good rewarding challenging careerAs long as they make cars ,trucks buses planes trains ,hybrids electric cars We will always need skilled tech to fix'em Don't no too many doctors that can fix anything on there cars that's why they need usAnd now statistics state there is a shortage of 200-500 thousand shortfall in the US TODAY Sad the jobs are out there all over the country I guess today's young men don't have the drive and the will to want to learn anything but video games and cell phones MIKE ROWE IS RIGHTSAD STATE OF AFFAIRS for the country in there near future
Comment from : @roguewarr4662

I believe our biggest problem is in the cost, time, and energy for the training of a student in a new skill Our education system is excessively expensive and cumbersome and is destroying loyalty in it through the inhibition of motivation due to the expense and ridiculous difficulty
