Mike Rowe Unleashes On Liberal Who Shamed Him For Exposing Major Scam On Every American.
TV star Mike Rowe is known for being a hard-working, blue-collar American.
The former star of the reality show Dirty Jobs took to Facebook Thursday to post an
NPR article to Facebook, on Thursday that took note of the significant number of growing
vacancies, in high paying skilled labor jobs in various trade vocations.
Yet high school graduates continue to go into massive amounts of debt signing up for 4 year
college degrees, they may never use and may not be able to pay for.
Naturally, the article also included commentary from Rowe himself with the post as is the
norm.
Yet it was not well received by one woman who is apparently part of the perpetually
offended club.
She perceived Rowe's pro "hard work" mantra as some sort of attack, on higher education
and a public shaming of those who choose to attend university.
Dawn Baker posted in response to Mike Rowe,
"Is it your intent to make those who choose college to feel ashamed, lazy and brainwashed?
Our country's education system is under attack, and you seem to be supplying more
ammunition to those attacking it, There's a reason many of these jobs pay well they
are truly HARD WORK physically hard.
Dangerous hard.
Mentally hard.
Feel free to send reps to the local unemployment office and brow beat them to send people to
these jobs.
Whether you mean to or not your are sending a very bad message to those who want to destroy
our higher education system."
Ummm NO. Rowe posted again on Friday in an attempt to rectify any possible misunderstanding
of his post, and the accompanying article.
He stated to his followers "Yesterday, I posted an article that dared to question the
universal wisdom of pushing everyone toward a four-year degree.
The article reached 3 million people, and not everyone was pleased."
Rowe went on to agree with Baker regarding higher education being under attack… sort
of.
Rowe explained – "You're right — our countries educational system is indeed under
attack.
But the attack is from within, and the wounds are self-inflicted making note of recent examples
of the failures of the higher education system such as the so-called "cry closet" at
the University of Utah, and Fresno State professor Ranga Jarrar slandering Barbara Bush as a
racist witch in the hours after her ***** and bragging about her tenure.
Rowe then continues with –
"Point is, Dawn, the hypocrisy in our educational system is rank, the bias undeniable, the disrespect
for our flag ubiquitous, and the entire 'safe space' mentality the exact opposite of what
life is like in the real world.
Higher education has created its own PR nightmare," he wrote.
"Is it any wonder parents are trying to figure out if their kids should be sent into
such a lopsided environment?
Is it any wonder reasonable people are beginning to question the value of a four-year degree?
Tuition has increased at two and half times the rate of inflation.
Nothing else this important has ever done that.
Not real estate, energy, food, even healthcare.
The question is why?
Is the quality of education two and half times better than it was thirty years ago?
No way.
Are universities turning out more graduates?
Hardly.
Fifty percent of those who enroll don't even graduate.
Do people have more disposable income today than they used to?
Of course not.
No, universities have been able to raise their prices partly because too many parents believe
that anything less than a four-year degree will doom their kid to a less productive existence,
and partly because we've pressured millions of kids to borrow whatever it takes from a
bottomless pool of unlimited money that doesn't really exist.
The result?
One and a half trillion dollars of student debt, 6.3 million jobs that no one wants to
do, and millions of college graduates who can't find work in their chosen fields — but
lack the skill to do the kind of jobs currently available.
The kind of jobs you deem, 'hard work."
Summing up his point, Rowe told Baker that his "intent is not to make those who choose
college feel 'ashamed, lazy or brainwashed.'
My intent is to remind people that a university is not the only place to enrich your mind
or prepare yourself for the real world.
Nor is it necessarily the best place.
It's merely the most expensive.
Other options exist, including those offered through my scholarship fund.
Please feel free to apply, should your position at Oregon University ever vanish.
Or, should you one day conclude that work is not the enemy."
