"RUBIO: "Welders make more money than philosophers."

<p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Not so, on average.

<p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Rubio is arguing that the U.S. has failed to invest in vocational training — a point also stressed by President Barack Obama's now-defunct jobs council. But Rubio is wrong to suggest that studying philosophy is a waste of money and time.

<p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">PayScale, a firm that analyzes compensation, put the median mid-career income for philosophy majors at $81,200 in 2008, with welders making $26,002 to $63,698.

<p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">And Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce said in a 2014 analysis that median incomes were $68,000 for people with an advanced degree in philosophy or religious studies.

<p style="font-size:17px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">So knowing Plato and getting a college degree still pays off."
