I swear Fox News is for complete morons
Mike's done more for the country than most politicians. He should be Secretary of Labor in the next Trump Admin.
If college does not work out for me (I'm going for electrical engineering or computer science), I'm going to become a carpenter, electrician, or HVAC tech.

Most universities create horrible employees, woke disasters.
I started doing air conditioning in 1987. I went to a technical college to learn the trade. I have been in the ac trade now for 36 years. Not many young folks are willing to work in the heat, and in attics. I hope you are right about a turn around. I will retire at age 62. I hope more will get in the trade to replace me.
With a good work ethic, drive to succeed, and a skilled labor market, even a 9th grade dropout can be successful. I started with nothing, worked, stumbled, made mistakes, but kept going.
If you find the right path you can get your training paid for by your employer.
My wife graduates in May with her RN and 95% of it was paid for by her employer. Her sister in law paid almost $100k for her RN. We have paid about $7k total and that includes extra training.
My wife is continuing on for her Doctorate Nurse Practitioner and she just got 70% of the first year of that paid for with scholarships/grants because she has great grades.
She is going to have gone from $35k/year income as a phlebotomist to $80k/year as a RN this year to $140+k as a DNP in a few more years. Our total cost out the door will be between $30-50k which she more than pays for as she is working full time too.
nothing better then running in to one of your classmates from high school , then they went off to college while you learned a trade, and the first question they ask you is , do you want paper or plastic, or do you want fries with that
I'm sure on the job training is the best for trades not sitting and reading a book how to do things hands on training is for sure the best skills learned. The guy that starts a trade and the guy that learns from a text book is behind the guy that learned on the job
Freedom is having a trade and being your own boss with a good to great paying professional trade. Doctors and other professionals are slaves to the man…
Just like anything else, go woke, go broke.
Learn a trade, no matter what you can fall back on those skills.
Rowe is a fraud
The expectation of college was made clear to students in the 1970s and probably before that. May have been driven in part by the Viet Nam war – if you were in college, you got a deferment. And we ended up with a bumper crop of leftist PhDs who taught in colleges and brainwashed younger generations. We need to elevate the deserved respect of skilled trades.
With a trade you can think whatever you want, believe whatever you want and train for a trade that doesn't involve sensitivity training, diversity and inclusion, and transgender rights so a bunch of inferiors won't feel offended if you look at them the wrong way. You learn a trade and that's it.
Yup yup. 25 years pouring Crete. My boys are going to be blue collar as well, but making the big boy money!
Amen !!!!!
Our public schools have been grooming kids for socialism for a long time now. Time to take back education from the CCP.
Mike your a CHAMPION AMONGST NONE !!! I spent 35 years of my life as a so called blue shirt laborer and still bought 3 homes , three cars and paid for my wifes Bermuda vacations and 22 pairs of shoes, and 16, 300 dollar business suits !!! And after 17 years she devorced me, married a nieghbour across the street, and left with half of everything I worked 60 hours a week for !!! I've been smiling ever since : ))) You can be 80 and still wire a breaker box, and in 20 years I will prove it. : ))) Just an observation
Republicans were apparently the last one to figure out colleges raised their tuitions to DECREASE the number of students applying, just like any other business. The problem here is the job openings aren't located the states that have high unemployment and low job participation. We know which states those are, don't we?
You're all right. I don't care what they say that's what my grandpa used to say. 😂❤
FoxitisBS = Brainwash.
