Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe on Discovery Channel

Stuck in a dead-end job? Daydreaming about a new career? If you think your job sucks, well think again.

Discovery has a show that focuses on various jobs that are at the very least called dirty. Aptly named Dirty Jobs, it is hosted by Mike Rowe. In the simplest form, the host, apprentices various jobs that, for some of us, never really given a second thought, or have never really realized ever existed. In the words of the host, "it is a show made to celebrate the men and women who earn an honest living doing the kinds of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us".

In short, you never really think about what happens to your poo after you flush the toilet, or what happens to the trash that you throw away, or even how everything you have in your life is made. You just get up, get them off the shelf, go to the counter, pay some money and then use em. you never really realized the time and effort spent to make em. Well thats where the show comes in. It shows you the hard work and the odd jobs that we have all around us that we don't pay much attention to, but are essential to make our lives a little better.

As of now, its my favorite show to watch on cable. Week by week i tune in to the Discovery channel every Monday to watch the latest episode (check your local listing for the schedule). Done in a very entertaining way, its not only funny to see a grown man fumbling time and time again, job after job, It is also very, very entertaining. On a side note, you do learn a lot too. Educational information and facts are built in the show that is presented in a fashion that sometime you wouldn't even notice that you've learned something.

All in all, i recommend to tune in and watch. In the end, if you think about it, all of us, has a dirty job. At the very least, a dirty job to someone else...
