It's quite likely that Mike Rowe has held more jobs than any living person. Rowe is a co-creator and the host of the series Dirty Jobs, now in its fifth year on the Discovery Channel. On the show, he learns and performs hundreds of jobs that require, it's fair to say, a little bit of getting dirty -- from chick sexer to mushroom farmer, beekeeper to boiler repairman. He and his show celebrate the sweaty and vital labor that's often hidden behind gleaming office towers.
Mike Rowe talks about jobs more specifically dirty jobs that are not liked by us or are the basis of the jokes. He talks about their importance and how they can actually make people wealthy. He dispels the common misconception that people who perform dirty jobs are unhappy.
The talk shows how media can alter our perception so that fairly common and necessary form of work can be perceived as dirty and below dignity for a person to perform.
