Yeah, I just googled him. Looks to me as if he has never once had a real job in his life, and certainly never a dirty one. Spent his entire life in showbiz, and unless he is one in a hundred billion, he surely spent that life “chasing his dream” and “dreaming of hitting it big.” All very ironic.

A career path like Mike Rowe’s may not fit your definition of a real job. But he was in pro opera. Jump into that world and discover what a pressure-free life of ease it is.

Not really. He followed the more normal showbiz path: take the job. I’m sure most of his jobs he hated, I doubt anybody ever actually wants to work for QVC, but he kept plugging away. That’s the dirty secret in showbiz, most of the time to pay the bills you need to be doing at least 4 jobs at once, so you better learn how to say yes. Eventually one of those jobs made him kind of famous. But he still says yes a lot, still gotta pay bills.
