Mike Rowe on the High Cost of College (Full Interview)

[AnthonyParticipant 2281]

If I heard this advice before I decided to go into college, I’d of taken a trades job over this. It makes way more sense to go into a trade or similar position while you’re younger in order to save up for college instead of doing it ass backwards like I did.

If more younger people did this for about 10-15 years saving up for college, a house, or a nice car before hand, most if not all of my generation would be debt free. Instead, most of my generation including myself are over $20,000 dollars in debt because we bought into this narrative that college is better than any other opportunity put fourth.

College costs are just one more way of government redistributing men’s wealth to women/government.
1. Make advanced degrees appealing by insinuating that you will get better pussy with an MD, PhD, or JD behind your name.
2. Increase the costs of tuition.
3. Make high interest student loans readily available and underwritten by government tax $$ [mostly paid by men].
4. Force universities to admit more women in to the advanced degree programs while dumbing down the curriculum to accommodate the female mind.
5. Encourage the “rape culture” myth at said universities thereby discouraging men from attendance.
6. Graduate more women with advanced degrees [knowing their hypergamous nature will increase the divorce rate].
7. Wealth redistributed all along the chain.

When women lead, destruction is the destination. -- Me.

Add to this there are not enough jobs to justify so many degrees.

Supply and demand depresses the salary for everyone with a college degree.

Forget college. Yes I went but only to get the math and science I needed. After that, I got the good job; and now why should I finish after 20 years of great pay and a world class rep. I left college with $5000 in student loans; all paid off years ago.

As MGTOW we are going to continue to starve the institutions that RAPE us (they really hate that). We have no hate just love for ourselves.

Depends on the degree. If it’s communications or Anthropology, then you are totally right. If the degree is nursing or engineering, not so much.

Of course even in those cases they will bring in H1B contractors to undercut you and act like they are just being good free market corporate capitalists.

Partially, in Engineering – especially in software engineering I have found that a lot of the grunt work is handed off to the H1B. If you really understand the craft and you have skills in understanding software development at a very high and abstract level then you can still find high paying jobs. It’s funny because I currently work in such a situation and I find myself working with large teams of people who were imported here via the H1B programs. Good folks just trying to make a living in the world but too often the business folks find out fast that they still need people who can understand the correlation between business and software. Of course the problem is finding the way to break into the field and gaining the knowledge. Startups are usually good for that since most startups will use local talent to get a product going. Also you tend to work heavily on a lot more current stuff so more new development and less maintenance work.
