- sandworm101 10y agoThe LSAT is a reading test. Philosophy majors do well because they are good readers, not because of any knowledge they picked up. You can be a good reader with other degrees too. The LSAT maps well onto law school performance because law school is also much about reading. Want to get a job as a lawyer, start with a compsci, biotech or engineering-related degree. But having some professional life experience also counts. Nobody wants to get legal advice from someone who doesn't have any realworld experience.
- anoonmoose 10y agoA philosophy degree seems to only be useful with regards to getting a law degree...since we're in the comments on an article about how a law degree isn't as useful as it used to be, I think you could probably toss "not useful" on it.
