Mike Rowe Sounds the Alarm About Massive Student Loan Debt and Young People Not Joining the Workforce (VIDEO) |

In a recent episode of the Theo Von podcast, renowned TV host Mike Rowe made some compelling observations that resonate profoundly with the current state of the economy and the trajectory of the nation.

Rowe highlighted a troubling trend: the skyrocketing cost of college education, which has outpaced nearly every other expense in American life. Millions of young Americans find themselves burdened with significant debt from degrees that, in many cases, do little to enhance their employability.

At the same time, we are witnessing a paradox: a staggering number of job vacancies (approximately 7.6 million) exist, while a concerning segment of the youth population remains disengaged from the workforce. This situation, Rowe argues, is a recipe for economic calamity.

BizPacReview elaborates on Rowe’s insights:

Many Americans have been led to believe that obtaining a college degree is essential, and Rowe is breaking down that misconception with some straightforward math.

“We’ve got $1.7 trillion in student debt on the books and we’ve got 7.6 million open jobs right now—most of which don’t require a 4-year degree,” Rowe stated, a clip that has gained traction on social media.

“And we’ve got 6.8 million able-bodied men who are not only out of the workforce, they’re not looking.”

“We removed shop classes from high schools, depriving students of the chance to appreciate practical trades.”

“Meanwhile, we’ve instilled a fear in an entire generation, telling them they’re doomed if they don’t secure a 4-year degree.”

Rowe also posed an essential question that often goes unasked:

“Why has college become so prohibitively expensive? Over the last 40 years, nothing has inflated in price as dramatically as a 4-year degree. Not housing, not healthcare, not energy—nothing.”

“We constantly tell young people they’re in trouble if they don’t follow this path. We also make endless funds available for them to borrow,” Rowe added.

Rowe’s perspective underscores a critical issue: the nation’s pressing need for skilled laborers rather than an oversupply of graduates with degrees in fields like gender studies that are less likely to lead to stable employment.
