The College Myth


WHY THE COLLEGE SYSTEM IS BROKEN
INTERVIEW SAMPLE FROM HFF RADIO
"We need a national PR Campaign in this country for skilled labor. Something that addresses the widening skills gap head on and reconnects the country with the most important part of our workforce. Now American Manufacturing is struggling to fill 200,000 vacant positions. And, right now we have 450,000 openings in the trades, transportation and utilities. The skills gap seems real and is getting wider." — Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs, before the US Congress "This literally changed my life." —Nick Hibbert, Pueblo, CO
