Today we live in a rapidly changing global society, one in which we the need for adaptability is highly necessary. The information age of research, reasoning and effective communication has begun; the industrial age of repetitive machinery has passed. As such, the liberal arts and sciences, which most colleges are, do not train for specific jobs, contrary to popular opinion. Instead, they give you the versatile skills that are valuable for numerous careers, with majors simply merging those skills with technical ability. Philosophy majors, unlike other majors, do not merge skills the same way. They specialize in learning those versatile skills in-depth, which result in them being in numerous career paths.

Now would it not be better to have the versatile skills demanded today merged with the practical, technical skills? Only if you do not plan to advance your career as fast or as far. By spending time merging skills, you do not spend as much time upon the versatile skills as necessary. The only way to effectually merge skills would be to have a double major with philosophy included. However, many students do not have the time or ability to have a double major. Therefore, that leaves us with the philosophy major.

What proof do I have that the philosophy major is better? Well, let us look at how philosophy majors do on tests after the undergraduate experience. First, let us look at the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test); According to the University of Virginia’s Office of Career Planning and Placement’s report, A Comparative Study by Major of Law School Admission Test Performance, the average LSAT score for a philosophy major was 15 points higher than the average for any other major. Next, the American Medical Association reported that in a study they had conducted, they found that philosophy majors had the third highest acceptance rate into American medical schools. York University discovered that on the Graduate Record Examination, the test necessary for admission into a master’s degree program, philosophy majors performed an average of 5% better than the average; on the verbal section, they scored higher than all other majors, including English; on the quantitative section, where humanities usually do deficiently, philosophy majors performed higher than other humanities, with the exception of economics.
