OPPORTUNITIES FOR BLUE COLLAR ARISTOCRATS.

That's long been a Cold Spring Shops theme.  Now comes television's Mike Rowe, making the same point, to a larger audience.  Here he chats with Forbes's Kathy Caprino.

I caught up with Mike recently to learn more about five of the damaging myths we’re taught today about blue collar work and workers. These myths include:

• There are no good jobs left in America.

• The best path to a good job is a four-year degree.

• Trade jobs are dead-end jobs.

• You can’t make six figures.

• There’s no room for women in the trades.

Misconceptions, indeed. Go, read, understand.
