This is an interesting clip from the Theo Von podcast that’s been making the rounds on Twitter/X.
BizPacReview has some details:
Many Americans have been duped into believing that a college degree is a necessity, and Mike Rowe is doing the simple math to prove it.“We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student debt on the books and we’ve got 7.6 million open jobs right now—most of which don’t require a 4-year degree,” Rowe said in a clip making the rounds on X.“And we’ve got 6.8 million able-bodied men who are not only out of the workforce, they’re not looking.“We took shop class out of high school, we robbed kids of the opportunity to see what that kind of work even looks like.“Meanwhile, we told a whole generation of kids they were f**king screwed if they didn’t get a 4-year degree.Rowe was also asking the question that too few ever ask…“How did college get so expensive? Nothing has gotten more expensive in the last 40 years than a 4-year degree. Not real estate, not healthcare, not energy, nothing.“We keep telling kids they’re screwed if they don’t go in this direction. We free up endless money to loan them,” Rowe continued.
