Mike Rowe reveals Ford has 5,000 unfilled mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year.
No degree required. AI-proof. And Ford still can't fill them.
ROWE: "Not a week goes by when I don’t get a call from some CEO... elected official... freaking out."
"They’ve done the math: for every five tradespeople who retire, two come in. It’s been that way for about 12 years now."
“Jim Farley (Ford CEO) told me he’s got 5,000 empty bays at Ford. These are AI-proof six-figure jobs, right? $120,000 a year. He can’t fill them.”
In a separation conversation with Shawn Ryan, Rowe said he visited a Texas data center and met three “debt-free” electricians under 30 making “north of $240,000/year.”
All three of those electricians have been “poached” three times in the last 18 months because the demand for electricians is crazy high.
THE BIG TAKEAWAY: If you're thinking about college but aren't sure what you really wanna do, trade school might be the smarter play.
Chances are, you'll take on a lot less debt, make a lot more money — and AI won't be coming for your job anytime soon.
“Tonight, in millions of American homes, the glow of the Christmas Tree is a reflection of the love Jesus taught us.”
On this day, President Reagan delivered these words in his Christmas Address to the Nation.
"The hardest thing I have ever done in my life, is sit in a hospital room and watch my son die, and watch my wife watch her son die."
"There was nothing I could do."
"I would have done anything."
"As hard as it was and still is, I have never experienced anything that made me more aware of the love of God."
"God watched his son die for me and for you and he could have stopped it."
"He loved us so much that he didn't."
Really puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
After UNC’s win over Kansas, Caleb Wilson told us he changes the wallpaper on his phone before games to make sure he’s “pissed.”
What was on his phone today?
