Mike Rowe's book Profoundly disconnected is a great read. I enjoyed reading about his thoughts on the USA. The thought that the United States needs to go back to teaching a skills based society and going back to the USA's roots. I was intrigued with the thoughts what he sees as a way to better our nation. I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to all my friends and family.

Such a wonderful message and such a wonderful cause. I love what mikeroweWORKS is doing. As a small business owner,in a skilled industry, finding people who are willing to learn and work hard is quite a challenge these days. The skills gap is something we've been aware of for a very long time. It's wonderful to see that being brought to light. Thank you Mike Rowe!

Mike is right on point with what is wrong in the preparation of our workforce. Way too many kids are sold a tragic, single track future of going to college, pilling on enormous debt and getting a useless degree in a useless subject from some ridiculously overpaid and out of touch bunch of college "professors". Learn a trade, provide value to society and success can grow in multiple ways.

Mike Rowe has an honest way of not glossing over the truth but instead elevating it to the podium. This book should be mandatory for parents of kids who are not college inclined, and for the kids to read afterwards. Maybe then they can have a good discussion about the realities of life

Good book to stress the need for self worth in students and future generations. Technical jobs are realistic good paying jobs. College is NOT the direction for all students.

I love these essays! Mr. Rowe does a great job of getting his point across with humor and without meanness. It's a breath of fresh air to read someone who understands how valuable work is in the life of a human being!

I found this book extremely disappointing. I think a lot of Mike, but this was just childish. Full of blank pages and it's a horrible read.
