“‘If we are lending money that ostensibly we don’t have to kids who have no hope of making it back in order to train them for jobs that clearly don’t exist, I might suggest that we’ve gone around the bend a little bit,’ says TV personality Mike Rowe, best known as the longtime host of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs. He stesses that he’s ‘got nothing against college’ but believes it’s a huge mistake to push everyone in the same direction regardless of interest or ability. Between Mike Rowe Foundation and Profoundly Disconnected, a venture with heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar, Rowe is hoping both to help people find new careers and publicize what he calls ‘the diploma dilemma.'”
