Addressing Mike Rowe and "The High Cost of College"

I thought the video was great and some parts funny too. It actually makes me think about college if I’m going right. I really think that I am doing the right thing to study and work were I be enjoying. I also don’t ask for student loans because they charge interests and then I would not have money to pay them back. What did stood out to me was that the average of the woman that are working are increasing and the male is decreasing. I personally think that his points are valid. We have too many student loans that we can’t pay. I also think the same as Rowe about they are many jobs that they don’t need a college degree. They still pay good you just have to have your high school degree. For example; Marking managers, tax preparers, construction, Elevator installers, etc. Another thing that he said that have my attention was that the cost of a degree as increased I think 500 times it increased by the years. I personally think that he would be right about technology. This video did cause me to pause and reconsider why I am currently doing at blinn because you don’t need a college degree to have a good work. I’m in blinn because I don’t want a job that I don’t like but they have good money and I want a job that I enjoy doing and pay most likely more.
