Mike Rowe says he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”
All three have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.
ROWE: “I was in Plano, Texas… got a tour of a data center.”
“I ran into three electricians, all under 30, all making north of 240 grand a year, all debt-free.”
“Now here’s the craziest part. All three had been poached three times in the prior 18 months.”
“The shortages are so acute that the companies don’t have time to train. They have to poach.”
“Great news for an electrician. But it’s a little weird for the economy overall.”
Watch as the UFC Freedom 250 (@ufc) flyover passes directly over me, with the Washington Monument perfectly framed in the background.
A truly special moment!
@TheoVon We meet on X....! I know it's not a thing comedians seeing comedians , but if you want to be my date for Norton in new jersey next month, let me know
Do you know what happened in the last 24 hours?
1. Late on Thursday night @FBI agents landed at New York Stewart International Airport with Mohammad al Saadi in handcuffs. Al Saadi, the leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi terror group is allegedly responsible for more than 20 attacks across Europe and Canada and for planning attacks in the U.S..
2. Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, who goes by “Chuqui," the highest ranking Tren de Aragua leader to be extradited to the U.S., also just landed in the U.S. in shackles. Flores allegedly oversaw TdA’s drug trafficking, extortion rackets, prostitution rings and murder operations.
Then, last night, in an operation that makes any fictional representation look amateurish, American operators, working with local Nigerian forces, killed Abu-Bilal-al-Minuki, the second in command for ISIS global operations, a man with the blood of countless innocents on his hands, including many Christians.
This is just one day in the Counterterrorism operations of President @realDonaldTrump.
We salute the intelligence professionals, Law Enforcement Officers, Diplomats, Military operators and support personnel who make these operations possible 24/7.

Happy Tax Day everyone. Reminder on this day 30 years ago Grandma Gilmore refused to pay her taxes and had her home seized by the IRS. Starting the domino effect that eventually lead to Gilmore joining the tour and me losing another gold jacket. Thanks a lot Grandma.
