Mike Rowe and Not Afraid to Work

I have been a fan of Mike Rowe ever since I watched the first episode of Dirty Jobs.  But my recent renewed interest is in his philosophy concerning work.  Rowe has started a nonprofit aimed at encouraging youth to look into other options other than college.  He isn't against a college education, in fact Mike Rowe is a college graduate. Read more about him: Mike Rowe Bio.  But on his site, MIKE ROWE WORKS, he has videos and tons of information on alternative paths to finding your dream job.  He also highlight in demand jobs that aren't being filled due to a lack of skilled workers.

Today, I found a cool site he promotes called Not Afraid to Work.   I have been cutting firewood lately and may have to submit a photo, and you should too!


From the site:

You’re up before dawn, sleeves rolled up and not afraid to get your hands dirty and work. You don’t punch out and you rely on hard-working people, equipment and products to help you get the job done.

And now we want to reward and honor your hard work with the NotAfraidToWork photo contest.
