We recognize that there are alternatives to college for individuals like us, who are in the trades. And even though it is not really a dirty job, this info from Mike Rowe speaks to those career options.
“We have 7.3 million open jobs right now, most of which don’t require a four-year degree,” Rowe said. “They require training, they require skill and they require a willingness to master a trade that’s in demand.”
The challenge with filling those open jobs, Rowe says, is the mindset that promotes college education over apprenticeships and training. In doing so, he says, we create a list of “alternative jobs” that leads generations of high schoolers to question why they’d ever want to become, among other things, a plumber, welder, pipe fitter, steamfitter or electrician.
“On one hand, it’s representation of limitless opportunity,” Rowe said. “On the other hand, it’s a reflection of what we value and, at the moment, we don’t seem to be valuing the pursuit of a useful skill.”
Rowe’s goal is not to disparage college education. He acknowledges college might be the perfect fit for some students. But he believes it’s not right for everyone.
“We just spent 50 years telling basically everybody that the best path for the most people was a four-year degree,” Rowe said. “The best path for a kid who can’t afford it and whose brain isn’t hardwired to Mideastern Studies or business development, or whatever it is, might not be borrowing $80,000 to learn a skill that’s no longer in demand.”
