I thought he has always been very respectful and gave appropriate admiration for the people who do "Dirty Jobs". He's no prima donna, that's for sure. I never really got an "aloof" vibe from him, but do understand he is thankful, like most of us, that not only is he not stuck having to do that every day, but that someone else is willing.
I think a lot of jobs should pay more than they do, and a lot of jobs should pay LESS than they do.
Just my opinion.
I certainly agree with that, people actually doing things for $30,000-$100,000 per year should make more than people who just talk or look good that get $10 mil. per year.
