No-one goes into philosophy for the money.

Perhaps they should. Quoting from five thirty eight.com, “And when it comes to earnings for people who only have undergraduate degrees, philosophy majors have the fourth-highest median earnings, $81,200 per year, out-ranking business and chemistry majors, according to the ETS. Bar none, philosophy majors have the highest salary growth trajectory from entry to mid-career.”

there are a number of other references to the career and earnings advantages of having an education in Philosophy.  Seems that having an education that is strong in logic, reasoning and ethics has value in a lot of fields.  My daughter, who made it to Within a final review of her Masters thesis in Philosophy (environmental Ethics)  before being compelled to drop out of college because of a bitter custody fight for her son, is earning a comfortable salary working for a Swedish bank, working mostly from home.  She had wanted to work in environmental ethics, but her exit from school coincided with the previous administration gutting the EPA, which flooded the market with experienced job candidates, but she is probably in a better financial situation than if she would have worked in the advocacy sector or stayed in college.  Now, if only I could get her interested in photography, so I could see a few more photos of my grandson.
