Former "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe has a habit of laying out those who attack him for advocating trade work and being critical of the current higher education system. On Tuesday, Rowe engaged yet another critic displeased with him for promoting opportunity for Americans in construction trade work.

"I always see these articles saying there is a shortage of construction trade workers, but everywhere I go I see hundreds of them unemployed. There is definitely no shortage of these workers, there’s just a shortage of people willing to work for sub-par poverty wages. That’s why these Mike Rowe types want to flood the labor market. Don’t believe any of that s*** if you read it," wrote a man named Chad via Facebook.

"Obviously, I’m aware that some people refuse to work because they believe the pay is too low," Rowe responded. "People like that exist in every industry, and the construction trades are no different." However, the success host argued argued that this isn't the sole reason that "6.3 million jobs are currently vacant. The fact is, starting salaries in the skilled trades rival or exceed those of many more popular careers."

I deplore debt, and do all I can to avoid it. I would rather live in a tent and eat beans than borrow money to pay for a lifestyle I can't afford.
