00:00The big lesson from dirty jobs, for me anyway, I mean I had a front row seat to 350 different
00:05jobs,
00:05many of which are in this world, and I met a lot of different people from a lot of different
00:09walks
00:09of life, but mostly it was a geographic lesson. We filmed in all 50 states many, many times. What's
00:16true in Boise, Idaho right now is simply not the case in Tallahassee, or in Augusta, Maine,
00:21or in Scottsdale, Arizona. What's going on there within every specific trade is slightly different
00:28than in the other place. In some places, it's radically different. Throw in the data center
00:32thing on top of that, and you already have a really disparate, very vague, difficult, amorphous
00:39thing to try and sum up, and we can't do it in 20 minutes. It's like nailing Jell-O to
00:44a tree.
00:45So who's your kid? Who's your counselor? What are their skills? What do I tell a 17-year-old kid
00:50in general? Don't be afraid of being uncomfortable. Don't be afraid of failing. Show up. Stay late.
00:56Apply for a work ethic scholarship from my foundation. I've got a bunch of money sitting
01:01around at microworks.org, and it's waiting to help train the next generation. I would tell
01:06that kid to go get some.
