[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a dead end major for mediocre students.[/quote]

Mediocre students, maybe.  But in the real world post-college, those mediocre students with life and people skills usually out earn and outperform the Econ/engineering/philosophy summa and magma nerds, who end up working for the mediocre students.  Look it up.  [/quote]

It's your assertion. What are your sources for it?[/quote]

Personal experience.  You can have your think tanks and policy jobs and journalism degrees etc etc.  90% of the people I know like that work for someone else and are at their mercy.   The mediocre business grads own their businesses and work for themselves.  To me, that’s freedom and power.   The rest are just excellent at being sheep.  [/quote]

That's not a source.  But maybe you didn't major in a subject that enabled you to develop analytical skills.

According to available data, while the starting salary for a philosophy major might be slightly lower than a business major, the average mid-career salary for a philosophy major tends to be higher.
