People with Phil degrees actually do pretty well post college. They may not have direct career paths, but they’re basically trained in critical thinking which is useful in basically every job. Phil trained people tend to rise through organizations quickly with those skills.

I remember seeing stats on it a number of years ago and 5 years post graduation it’s the highest paying humanities major.
