true about the lib programs but the pure philosophy/womens studies/black studies/latino studies type programs etc. virtually never yield jobs in their field after graduation.I know the opinion of many in the technical/science fields about liberal arts degrees is the same as yours, but they are wrong (at least, they are wrong as long as the degree represents a high standard of achievement. You have to know the college and departments before that’s a given.)

I have honors BA degrees in economics and philosophy, and I use those skills every day of my life. It’s all in how you package yourself. I took my interests in ham radio and electronics, paired them with skills in writing, analytical thinking and logic, and parlayed that into a very lucrative career in the software engineering/network engineer/systems administration worlds. Most engineers I work with can’t believe I don’t have an engineering degree.
I tell my kid she can major in anything, but she needs a plan to use the skills in some fashion.
true about the lib programs but the pure philosophy/womens studies/black studies/latino studies type programs etc. virtually never yield jobs in their field after graduation. i see you majored in economics, so even if you had never studied philosophy at all you'd still be marketable with desirable skills.
