  Hey we philosophy majors make a lot more money than other humanities disciplines on average.

  …because so many of us become lawyers.

    I’ve always wondered why.

    Is it because you guys are really comfortable going over the minute details in anything written and finding everything that supports one thing or flaws an argument?

      Used to reading a lot of dry text in detail and retaining the information.

  MD’s aren’t doctors. They’re bachelors with an ego.

      MD’s aren’t egos. Their bachelor’s with a doctor.

  Philosophy is actually a great major to have.

  It just means you have been thought how to think well.

  So any job that leans on critical out-of-the-box thinking benefits from a mayor in Philosophy. Like problem solving, social deductions, critical reading, …

  Having someone on your team like that helps avoiding mistakes during projects.

    All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That’s what the Ph stands for. Doesn’t mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MF-PhDs.

      That’s what the Ph stands for.

      I thought it stood for Phteven.

      Completely correct. There is also a (much rather in the US) ScD degree - Doctor of science.

      In the US, it is often identical to a PhD. If your institution offers it, you just check a box at the end of your program on whether you want a PhD or ScD. In Europe, an ScD is a higher degree than a PhD and requires some extra work to obtain.

    Yes, i guess the same applies for other fields where abstract thought is involved a lot.

    In medieval europe, theology used to fulfill a simar purpose, nowadays maybe (abstract) maths would hit a similar spot. bonus points for being a bit more practical.
