Just about any field of study is okay as long as you also pursue some kind of certification to go with it.

First degree my kid got in the USAF was Business. She has a few technical certs in some specialized aircraft stuff. She got snapped up fairly quick when she left the service because of it and a year later is in the process of a Lockheed interview process. It definitely matters to have something technical or marketable.

Philosophy on it’s own, I think is worthless for job prospects unless you have a tenured position waiting for you. But how it teaches you to think gives such an edge. A lot of people simply cannot do abstraction. And abstraction is by definition ‘out of the box’ thinking. A valuable quality in any endeavor.
