Mike Rowe: The college admissions scandal is 'outrageous,' but the real crime is the cost of education

Television host and author Mike Rowe believes that the American people should be just as outraged with the skyrocketing cost of higher education as they are with the celebrities exposed in the college admissions cheating scandal.

Rowe, who is best known for his Discovery Channel show "Dirty Jobs," also argues in favor of more vocational jobs and said that "not everyone has to go to college" during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Friday.

He was responding to questions regarding the scandal which has ensnared Hollywood, leaving actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman facing jail time for bribing university employees to get their children into good schools.

The salaries, free perks like free homes, cars and of course all the free "conventions" in far away places are just the tip of the iceberg. Get rid of all overpaid administrators and CEO's and you will cut down on a huge chunk of the overhead.
Cut down on the redicuolous members of the board of directors and all the other positions that are created for dem politicians who lost their elections. Specifically stop making jobs for losers such as Mathias who now makes $150,000.00 a year at UMES at a job that didn't exist until he lost his election in 2018.

Mike Rowe is 100 percent correct. Why is the cost of college increasing at 4-times the rate of inflation and double that of health care inflation. Are kids 4 times smarter. Noooooooo.... but college administrators are 4 times wealthier. It has to stop.
