Mike Rowe, best known for his show Dirty Jobs, is sounding the alarm about AI’s impact on white-collar work—think office jobs, coding, and even creative fields. But he’s not all doom and gloom. He argues that skilled trades (plumbing, welding, electricians, etc.) are AI-proof and could see a resurgence as tech disrupts other sectors. His message? Young people might want to skip the four-year degree and consider hands-on careers that robots can’t easily replace.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another "AI is coming for your job" story. Rowe’s take flips the script by highlighting where humans still have the edge—real-world, physical skills that AI struggles to replicate. It’s a wake-up call for how we think about education and career paths, especially as automation reshapes the economy. Whether you agree or not, it’s a conversation worth having as AI keeps advancing.
