Mike Rowe talks how he is redefining what a college degree means l GMA 

MJ L44 good stuff I myself am 21 am thinking about pursuing an associates degree in a trade

and you are over 35 years old I bet

@@TheCoffeeNut711 5 Years into being a diesel tech I turned over 100k in one year

I have two kids in high school and sometimes we have discussions about what ccollege their friends are going to. And what is mind-boggling is their parents sending them to out-of-state colleges to get degrees in fields that are offered locally ,.so parents are paying thirty ,forty thousand a year to send their kid out of state instead of sending them to the local state University that's six thousand a year. My husband's in the trades business and he's doing very well. it's these parents who are willing to pay these absurd amounts of money to send their kids to college that have allowed this high costs to continue. Good for Mike rowe helping students find work in highly skilled trad s which can't be automated.

That’s what you make with onlyfans?

If they won’t date a plumber because of the fact that he is a plumber and they won’t be a plumber because they won’t get women, we can easily conclude the type of person they are.

I think we are a long ways from that. We still need plumbers, framers, electricians, mechanics, oil and gas workers, farmers, surveyors, etc. All of which you do not need a four year degree. We are still a long ways from bots grading construction sites, welding pipe lines, blasting stone quarries, commercial fishing, or frying donuts. We may be on our way but not quite there yet.

If you honestly think we will be 3d printing houses you are an idiot and know nothing about construction. You need human intuition to identify and remedy a problem. Welders, mechanics, hvac techs, carpenters, etc. will be here and in demand well beyond our lifetimes. By my guess skilled tradesmen will be some of the highest paid people in the country. Simply due to the lack of people entering those fields. It has been caused by people with your mentality. Let me ask you this when was the last time you took your kids out and let them learn how to swing a hammer? Such a basic skill that is being lost in coming generations because people like you feel that yourself and your offspring are above it. The opportunity to tinker and get exposure to these things never existed at a young age for so many kids, replaced with sports and a TV/computer for a babysitter. My folks always had stuff going on rental renovations, cars to fix, tools to mess with, at the age of 10 or 11 I had my own wood lathe and a wood shop in the garage I was doing wood working projects to make some money in elementary school. Your tune will change when you need a contractor to do a job and you are put on a month long waiting list and the labor rate is $200+/hr. Automation is still in it's infancy, it will become more prevalent but it will just displace low skill level workers and AI will replace countless white collar jobs.
