Greek, sheep and the celebration of work

by Mark Riffey on September 7, 2009

For Labor Day, it seemed to me that a TED video about the value of hard work was a good choice – particularly the kind of work I suspect few (if any) of my readers do.

Below, Mike Rowe from Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs talks about work, sheep, and a little bit of Greek.

Note: Some of this discussion might gross you out a little – but it is Dirty Jobs he’s talking about.
