The problem with that is ie: the GRE doesn't measure utility to society, and the Philosophy majors that do make money are likely the lawyers, which I would also question the utility of.


I've always wondered, why does everyone hate lawyers so much? I've always thought it's a pretty noble profession on the surface.

Pretty much the highest paying non-STEM field.

Liberal Arts is what they call the general curriculum at Ivy League colleges. It is the general education necessary for a free person and full citizen to have. It is a very archaic definition but they stick to them in those schools. At a state school or any school with enough of a size you major in specific things, and it isn't Comparative Literature these CEOs are studying.







Notice lack of social work on any graphs? I had to do something to strengthen my powers :lol: A lot of my peers there aren't great academics but they're very good practitioners and clinicians and have crazy good BS meters.

It is also a lot of fun and I recommend it to anybody wondering what to do with an undergrad and but is sure they want to do a non-engineering or non-medical doctor doctoral degree. One of my friends was a double major philosophy and mathematics and loved the logic aspect of it and said it really opened his imagination as to what is possible with math. I never had that epiphany and didn't have the easiest time with logic. I am illogical AF.

Yes, although its fourth, which makes it about below average.

:lol:

And it is skewed by all the Harvard, Yale, Brown, etc, CEOs who are liberal arts by default. Those schools have legendary philosophy departments.

Many of them get to be CEOs because of who they are.

If you or anybody think I'm insufferable, then they should stay out of philosophy and social work :lol:

People always resent their rulers. Lawyers run this country.
