Mike Rowe explains in a great piece on the Glenn Beck Show that he thinks millions of students are getting bad advice by going to major Universities and challenged the notion that you need a four year degree to be successful.

“We’re lending money we don’t have, to kids who will never be able to pay it back, for jobs that no longer exist,” said Rowe.  Rowe went on to say that the four letter word that was never allowed in his home growing up was "debt." Rowe discusses conversations he had with his guidance counselors and how he still uses it as motivation today.
