Philosophy is actually one of the majors with highest career earnings out of college. Also anecdotally, I know several people who majored in philosophy (one with a CS minor) and they all do quite well. I'm in my mid 30s and the people I'm talking about are between 28ish and 45.

    I was away for Thanksgiving Not sure if you'll still find this relevant, but here's a source I had saved where you can see philosophy is in the highest third: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/07/which-college-degrees-get-the-highest-salaries https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/07/which-college-degrees... And a now-somewhat-broken 538 article: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/philosophers-dont-get-much-respect-but-their-earnings-dont-suck/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/philosophers-dont-get-m...

    I don't know about a philosophy. But people with graduate degrees in Zoology seems to be doing well: https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/valueofcollegemajors/ https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/valueofcollegemajors/ For some reason it groups "philosophy and religious studies" and the latter might not lead to very high paying careers, so it's hard to tell what that means for "just" philosophy. The report [0] has them below the median of all "humanities and liberal arts" majors.
