About this listen

Today, I'm talking about Mike Rowe, recent comments, about how a four-year degree from college might be a waste of time and that it does not mean you are better educated than someone who did not attend college. Also, holding a four-year degree does not mean that you will be employed in your field of study or that you have somehow improved your ability to think or perform some task or skill.

Mike Rowe's foundation has given away $millions in scholarships to people that want to enter careers in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.. Where a person can earn more than $100,000 per year in a job that does not require a degree from a university.
