"A Fox News host let Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) repeat his inaccurate claim that welders make a lot more money than philosophers — and jokes that Plato would have been better off learning a trade than “yapping about his philosophy.”
The Republican presidential candidate noted Tuesday that online searches for welding classes had sharply spiked, and he argued during the debate that vocational training was more lucrative than a liberal arts education.
“Welders make more money than philosophers,” Rubio claimed during the GOP debate. “We need more welders than philosophers.”
However, according to the salary database PayScale.com, the average annual salary for graduates with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy is $97,000 — while graduates with an associates degree in welding technology earn just $58,500."
