When did this tool become some sort of sage whose dumb opinions people on Facebook keep posting?

He's basically the conservative George Takei. Very good at social media.

Mike Rowe did musicals in high school and almost got the Daily Show from Craig Kilborn but sure I totally buy him as America's shop teacher.

His take on the election results seems pretty good.

I like him. He argues rather successfully that Americans denigrate vocational training and the careers that come out of it, and that spending $120k to send not too book smart little Buffy to college to be an International Affairs major is a waste when you can get her set up as a welder instead. He really means that liberal elite Americans do the denigrating, but he's smart enough to blame everybody. He is good at telling a story, and he's found a good source of stories to tell.

White women in their 40s+ seem to find him attractive.

Plus, he promoted to Bangor Maine Police Department facebook page, which is a fun read.

A lot of what he is talking about is what are you getting for your education... if you want to put 90k into a college with a degree in history, that's great, but that's not going to get you a good job. He's 100% behind paying money to learn a craft where there is a need in the world... he does not focus on STEM, but focuses on things he has worked on... and he is right for quite a lot of people. You can make 100k a year as a plumber, and there's nothing wrong with being a plumber. God knows I pay my plumber enough. He's against this dream world where you pay 180k for 4 years to learn marine biology and then you can't get a job because there are only 5 marine biology jobs opening every year.

If the Marine Biologist thing doesn't work out, one could always become an architect.

GEORGE: Besides, Steven Koren has the highest of aspirations. He wants to be an architect.

WYCK: Is that right?

STEVEN: Actually, maybe I could set my sights a little bit higher.

GEORGE: Steven, nothing is higher than an architect.

STEVEN: I think I'd really like to be a city planner. Why limit myself to just one building, when I can design a whole city?

WYCK: Well, that's a good point.

GEORGE: No, it's not.

STEVEN: Well, isn't an architect just an art school drop-out with a tilty desk, and a big ruler?

GEORGE: It's called a T-square.

WYCK: You know, the stupidest guy in my fraternity became an architect - after he flunked out of dental school! Congratulations, young man.

STEVEN: Thank you.

WYCK: Susan would be proud of what you're doing.

STEVEN: Thank you.

I think about a year ago, he pointed out we needed more skilled laborers in the Dakotas/Montana area.
