Quote:So then what is Rubio's point? I'm genuinely confused by what his point is and not speculation or what you want, as you have said. What is his point since they already chose for themselves whether college or trade is right for them. 

 

His point is, the K-12 public education system is not working.  Another point that he makes is rather than "free college for all", we should focus on training young people to perhaps take another path in life to fill jobs that are good paying and needed.  Also, those that have or receive knowledge or skills through other than the "traditional means" should be able to have some form of "recognition" similar to a college degree or a certificate to enable them to gain better employment.

 

I would bet that I personally could probably pass the final exams of current EE or CS graduates easily.  I've worked with people that hold both degrees, and I've had to train them.
