Final
Write a 3 page essay (900-1000 words) on what you think about work, comparing the following two TED.com talks as a starting point: Gary Vaynerchuk—Do What You Love (No Excuses) and Mike Rowe Celebrates Dirty Jobs. In addition to Vaynerchuk and Rowe, include a discussion of at least two of the works we examined this semester.
