Yes, if there's an alternative to college to earning a higher salary. But, most parents aren't advising their kids to get a blue collar job like Mike Rowe espouses. Parents want their kids to go to college. They're not as concerned about their kids' debt, and high school kids haven't yet learned to be wary of student loan debt. The moment they discover that student debt is a problem is the moment it's too late, when they've failed out of school or look for a job and can't find one. Rather than pushing college upon everyone, we should be educating students about debt and other options. At the same time, we should be pulling back some manufacturing jobs to provide such other options. The US isn't going to survive on elitist service industries alone.
