The Earning Power of Philosophy Majors
It’s been said in many places before: A degree in the humanities isn’t exactly marketable to employers (less kind critics have called those degrees “useless”). But there’s one humanities major whose graduates are doing quite well in the job market—and it’s philosophy majors.
That’s one of the finding of a new report by PayScale.
Every year, the company surveys 1.4 million college alumni from over a thousand U.S. colleges on their employment and income. Although philosophy majors rank 75th on PayScale’s overall list of majors at mid-career earnings, it’s the top humanities bachelors degree in their ranking—from early career all the way to later career.
worth noting that about 95% of the top 75 degrees are engineering-related degrees. so yeah, i think Philosophy scores pretty well
