I saw this one from Dirty Jobs and it it next on my To Watch list. Did you see Evan Williams speak? http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/evan_williams_on_listening_to_twitter_users.html He is not the most charismatic speaker but his presentation inspired me to follow more hunches and to stay inspired when it comes to social media and finding new ways to connect with people. Even though my mom always said "There's nothing new under the sun", I think there are always new ways to interpret old ideas. I recently subscribed to your blog and I am enjoying hearing your thoughts on social media related topics.

I was doing everything I could to get a desk job and get out of the elements and they kept asking me why. They would tell me that the people working in offices are doing the manual labor on their weekends and in their free time. Which is true. I know a couple people who spend much of their free time doing things that would be considered blue-collar jobs. Personally I am happy to be out of the construction field but it was a rewarding job. You were able to see a finished product after doing the work. That is what I miss from the job. But what Mike says in the video is true. People don't want to get dirty anymore. They don't want to work hard if they don't have to. I mean look at the television commercials and infomercials you see. Everything is trying to help people get rich without doing too much and the world doesn't work like that. You have to work for what you want. There really is no such thing as a free lunch.
